"Environmental sustainability issues have received more and more attention in line with increasing consumer awareness about the importance of protecting the planet. Companies that are involved with forestry and agricultural products have made sustainability commitments and taken efforts to meet them. I enjoy working with companies to strengthen their supply chains and work with them to design effective and impactful programmes to move forward in their sustainability pathway."
