It was therefore particularly valuable to discuss this challenge with colleagues who have similar questions."

Tommy Stellmacher
"I've built AI platforms and operating models in retail, so nobody had to convince me that AI works in a regulated environment. I used the two days to have a close look at how the Agent Factory solves problems in the osapiens HUB. My takeaway is that the Agent Factory is a simple plug and play answer to complex problems under time pressure. How quickly it was put to work on completely new use cases impressed me."

If we achieve this, we will have better-quality data that helps us focus on the sustainability impact that matters most, while also making our processes more efficient and freeing up more time to drive sustainability transformation."
As Chief Sustainability Officer at Weleda, Nadine-Hélène Santiago brings a perspective that connects sustainability strategy, responsible sourcing and measurable impact.
