DSM and Philips leaders selected in the “12 C-suite 2022 Sustainability Champions” list
As the world settles uncomfortably into the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic, environmental and social vicissitudes of this era come into greater focus. This leaves large companies — with foresight and risk management at least — dangerously behind in terms of accelerating efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore natural systems and strengthen communities. That’s why GreenBiz has selected 12 distinguished business leaders in 12 areas essential to accelerating climate action and delivering positive social benefits. These dozens of leaders want to direct their actions to help build a better world as good business practice, whether it’s decarbonizing bricks and concrete for infrastructure, detoxing supply chains, electrifying transportation, regenerating soil, or advocating government policies Sound – or for financing any of the above solutions and more. They come from three continents and five countries: the United States; Denmark ; India; Switzerland ; and Mexico. Twelve companies include no less than two Dutch corporate leaders: Geraldine Matchet (Co-CEO and CFO of Royal DSM) for the theme ‘Biodiversity’ and Frans van Houten (CEO of Royal Philips) for the ‘Circular Economy’ theme.
