Atom Nguyen: Bringing Sustainable, Bio-Based Materials to Market
Atom: Our revolutionary bio-based materials offer a sustainable, accessible, and practical alternative to currently available commercial material options. The production of textile materials, such as vegan leather and traditionally produced animal leather, is a major cause of environmental destruction and greenhouse gas emissions due to its usage of toxic materials like polyurethane. Food waste (wasted coffee grounds and seashell waste), when properly processed and repurposed, can be a viable source of raw material with great characteristics for the circular economy.

Jake Clark: Expanding the Reach of Corporate Responsibility

Jake: I work in Corporate Responsibility at JPMorgan Chase where I help allocate $350 million in grants to non-profits around the world—helping people get good jobs, start and grow businesses, save for their futures, and secure stable housing. We think these four pillars are essential for individuals and families to build prosperous futures, but we also know that every community has different needs and therefore requires different solutions. We work with leading organizations to identify those needs and provide resources that help them innovate and solve problems for their communities. In addition to JPMorgan Chase’s (JPMC) philanthropy, I work on making JPMC's operations, products, and services more socially responsible.
