There is no shareholder value without stakeholder value”.
She chose to embark on the INSEAD Business Sustainability Programme as it represented an opportunity to understand the fundamentals of business sustainability; to “remove the noise,” and dig deep into the spaces where climate, geo-economics, regulation, business and capital markets interact—to really get to grips with the strategic imperative of sustainability.

Sustainability is an opportunity for society and for business when business models can be innovated that align the needs and incentives of both. Entrepreneurs Pierre-François Thaler (MBA 99D) and Frédéric Trinel founded in 2007 EcoVadis, pioneering a service that assesses the sustainability of supply chains around the world, a key need for making businesses operate more sustainably. It is now a hugely successful platform with active service to more than 100,000 companies across 160 countries.
