How Jesper is building a better working world

“Every day, I strive to make the EY Sydney Tax and Law practice the best place in the world to be a tax professional. This has a positive impact on hundreds of EY employees and their families, and means EY clients work with the best teams. 

In my role as Asia-Pacific Sustainability Tax Leader, I support clients with their transformation journeys across environmental, social and governance matters. For example, tax plays a significant role in securing incentives and grants for organizations making green investments across their value chain. Also, when organizations choose to have more sustainable, regenerative, circular business models, tax supports with understanding and addressing the direct and indirect tax implications. Driving awareness of sustainability tax opportunities with EY clients builds a bigger, better working world than if we did it alone and I’m proud to be able to make a positive impact.”
