Fresh off my first GreenBiz event 🌱 —an incredible gathering that brings together sustainability professionals dedicated to the well-being of both people and the planet. I had the pleasure of connecting with so many inspiring peers committed to creating meaningful change. Here are some insights that resonated with me: Continuous learning: None of us have all the answers, and the field of sustainability is constantly evolving. From getting stakeholder buy-in, addressing data complexities, enhancing transparency, fostering employee engagement, and navigating regulatory changes, the journey is ongoing. Everyone is learning and adapting. Collective effort: Sustainability cannot be the responsibility of just one person. It requires alignment from leadership, integration into company culture, and alignment with company values and purpose. Find partners and allies throughout the business and bring them along your journey and they will be your biggest advocates. The power of listening and influence: Building sustainable success involves a delicate balance of listening to the top priorities of your stakeholders, understanding their perspectives, and influencing them positively. Essentials of organizational change-- so simple but often overlooked. By demonstrating how sustainability initiatives align with their needs and how you can ultimately help them, we can foster trust and allyship. All while making it fun, of course. Finally, hearing the passion from emerging sustainability leaders like Wawa Gatheru, Leah Thomas, and Zahra Biabani solidified my confidence in the future of our industry. 🙌

GreenBiz year 2 is in the books! I am repeatedly overjoyed at the amount of dedication, intention, and support the corporate sustainability community brings to their work. It's energizing to reconnect with my invisible teammates around the globe using the power of business to drive sustainable impact. This year, my key learnings were around the role of corporate sustainability professionals to hold duality and balance priorities within their roles. My themes from GreenBiz 2024 : 1) The balance between measurement and management is everpresent; don't focus too much on one or the other will inevitably suffer. 2) Regulatory reporting has the opportunity to create the clarity and consistency we've all been waiting for, but it's dynamic and it will take a few years for these frameworks to truly settle. In the meantime, developing sustainability targets and reporting structures material to your organization that are agile yet consistent is crucial. 3) While carbon and GHG emissions are central to the Paris climate targets, they need to be viewed as stepping stones to other non-financial metrics like social and biodiversity. 4) Corporate sustainability is a balance of data management and people management to drive action. AI-empowered software and stakeholder engagement programs are both critical tools; digital transformation and sustainable transformation are complementary, not competing.

BIG NEWS: Koral is now live! Together with Filip Engel and Annemarie Meisling I am thrilled to launch Koral – a strategic sustainability and communication consultancy. We help companies and investors create business value from sustainability.   Filip and Annemarie stand out as the most brilliant sustainability and communication professionals I have encountered in my professional career. As you can tell from the image, they are also incredibly nice and inspiring individuals to be around. Why are we doing this? We believe in a few things: - Business has a pivotal role to play in regenerating our environment, societies, and organizations. - By combining management consulting, sustainability expertise, and communication tools, we can assist clients in identify opportunities, integrate solutions, and effectively engage stakeholders. - Our extensive experience gained from global sustainability leaders like Ørsted, Christian Hansen, and Novo Nordisk enables us to provide practical, experience-based solutions.   Visit our new website at https://koral.business/ or follow us at Koral to learn more about what we do. And do reach out if you'd like to learn more. How did I get here? For the past 1.5 years, I have enjoyed life as an independent advisor for companies, philanthropic foundations, and NGOs. It allowed me to closely collaborate with fantastic clients while working on challenging projects. In that process, I fell in love again with the consulting profession.   With Koral, I can continue these relationships and take on larger and even more impactful projects. And, I can do so alongside partners who challenge, inspire, and energize me.

This is one of my absolute favorite things we do each year. We've now named more than 250 "30 under 30s," many of whom have gone on to great things: leadership roles in the private and public sectors, impressive accomplishments, champions for sustainability. This year's cohort is the best yet! I encourage you to check them out and get to know these leaders of tomorrow — and today. #30under30
