How Velislava is building a better working world
“I am helping to build a better working world externally with clients and internally at EY. I work with clients to help them address their natural resource constraints and impacts, engage their stakeholders in sustainability collaborations, enhance and measure their sustainability performance as well as leverage sustainability to innovate new products, services and business models.
