We call it the CEO challenge or CEO pledge, and so we have some materials on the Leidos website and then we actually went out to the Fortune and, frankly, everyone that I know, everyone in my rolodex, everyone I even think I know, and sent them the pledge of things that they can do in their organization to make their employee population more aware and also to provide them with materials and resources and things that they can actively do to again raise awareness and, frankly, to cut down some of the access to prescription opioids, which is more around the.
Imagine a company CEO who decides to take on the opioid epidemic head-on. That's exactly what Roger Krone, CEO of Leidos, has done. After one of his employees lost a son to an opioid overdose, Krone made it his mission to combat this public health crisis. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Krone talks about how this personal tragedy inspired him to take action and what Leidos is doing to make a difference.
From launching the CEO challenge, which encourages other companies to join the fight, to introducing take back bags for safe disposal of unused prescription drugs, Leidos is making strides in raising awareness and providing resources to prevent opioid abuse. Krone's story is a powerful reminder of how personal commitment can drive corporate responsibility and create real change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how businesses can play a role in tackling addiction.
