How Amanda is building a better working world
“I got an early introduction to sustainability during my coursework at the university, where I became fascinated by (what was at that time called) “triple bottom line” — people, planet and profit. The concept that these three things could coexist and did not have to be mutually exclusive was a very compelling thesis for me that has morphed into corporate social responsibility and, as we know it today, ESG. In my current role, I have the privilege and honor to work with many sustainability leaders. As a convener of businesses, I support firsthand the breaking down of barriers, knowledge sharing and collaboration needed to solve the most complex issues of our time. Even among the fiercest of competitors, there is a sense of stewardship that transcends the bottom line.”
