The president of CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development), Marina Grossi, has joined the Board of Directors of GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), an international organization of independent standards, which helps companies, governments and other organizations to understand and communicate their impacts on issues such as climate change, human rights and corruption. It is also the main provider of the most widely used sustainability reporting standards in the world.
“It is a pleasure to be part of the GRI Board of Directors at such a critical time. GRI has a crucial role to play in helping companies become more sustainable. We need to align investors and accelerate the transitions to a greener, circular, diversified, inclusive and low-carbon economy. We need to find new partners and build consensus, and I will do my best to help GRI achieve this goal,” said Marina Grossi.
The appointments come at a time when corporate sustainability is high on the global agenda – reinforced by the impact of the pandemic and the need to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition to Marina, three new appointees will join the Board from January 2021. They are: Bola Adeeko – Divisional Head, Shared Services, Nigerian Stock Exchange (Nigeria); Esther An – Chief Sustainability Officer, City Developments Limited (CDL) (Singapore); and Cristina Gil – Vice President, Sustainability, Orbia (USA). Congratulations to all.
