How Anastasia is building a better working world

“A major barrier to progress on sustainability is the information gap around the scale of change needed compared to incremental action today, and the steps to get between present state and end-goal. In my role, I focus on co-creating and sharing knowledge to help businesses accelerate the transition to an economy with human and planetary flourishing at its heart and secure their place in a future radically different than the present. I believe that the business world is uniquely placed to help overcome the inertia that is holding our current, system in place and lead the transition to a more just and liveable future, acting as a critical link between policy and real economy action.”
