How Alicia is building a better working world
“I help EY clients build enduring businesses based on the strategic management of sustainability factors that have financial materiality in their industries. Strategic sustainability management creates financial value, whether through increased revenue, cost reduction or risk mitigation. By communicating clearly to investors with standardized ESG KPIs, companies can improve their access to financing.”
