Dianne Heiler

Vice President, Sustainability and ESG | Global Head of Packaging Engineering
Repligen

Dianne connects engineering decisions to sustainability outcomes, where packaging and energy choices translate into impact.

Dianne Heiler works at the intersection of sustainability strategy and packaging engineering, bringing together two domains that are often treated separately.

As Vice President of Sustainability and ESG and Global Head of Packaging Engineering at Repligen, she connects environmental goals with packaging and operational decisions.

Under her leadership, Repligen transitioned to renewable energy across all of its global sites. This represents a significant shift in how the company manages its energy footprint.

She has also led packaging redesign efforts that reduced material use, improved efficiency, and lowered costs. These changes demonstrate how sustainability and operational performance can align.

Dianne’s earlier roles at major life sciences and consumer product goods companies provided experience in how packaging decisions influence supply chains at scale.

Her work shows how sustainability becomes most effective when it is embedded into engineering and product development.

What I’d love to discuss during the event

  • Achieving 100% renewable electricity globally was a major milestone for us. The biggest hurdle wasn’t technical – it was organizational alignment. How are others tackling that challenge?
  • Packaging is one of the most visible sustainability levers for a company—and one of the most cross‑functional. How do you bring marketing, operations, and sustainability into productive alignment?
  • When engineering requirements and sustainability objectives are in tension, trade‑offs are inevitable. How does your organization navigate those decisions—and how do you decide what “success” should ultimately look like?
