David Bulir

Corporate Sustainability Manager
Cabot Corporation

David Bulir operates inside industrial sustainability, where what a company makes matters as much as how it makes it.

David Bulir leads sustainability strategy at Cabot Corporation, a specialty chemicals company operating across global industrial markets.

As Corporate Sustainability Manager, he is responsible for measuring, managing, and reporting environmental performance across a complex operational footprint. This includes efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and integrate sustainability into product development.

Cabot operates in areas that are closely tied to the energy transition. Its materials are used in applications such as batteries and insulation, which places sustainability at the center of its business rather than at the margins.

David’s role involves navigating multiple layers of expectation. Investor scrutiny, regulatory requirements, and scientific accuracy all shape how sustainability is approached.

His work requires both technical understanding and organizational coordination. It involves translating high-level commitments into actions that can be implemented across facilities and regions.

He focuses on ensuring that sustainability efforts are measurable, consistent, and aligned with real operational change.

What I’d love to discuss during the event

  • We’re a specialty chemicals company. Our products go into batteries and insulation — we’re part of the solution. But our process is also part of the problem. How do others manage that duality?
  • Investor pressure on ESG has intensified and then softened and then intensified again. How are people here thinking about what’s durable versus what’s cyclical?
  • What does meaningful emissions reduction actually look like in heavy industrial operations — not offsetting, not reporting — actual reduction?
