How Barend is building a better working world

“It has been exciting to be part of the Embankment Project for Inclusive Capitalism, a unique market-led proof of concept led by the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism. This framework is helping companies to better measure and communicate their long term value creating potential to investors and otherstakeholders. More recently he worked with the WEF’s International Business Council (IBC), a group of more than 140 CEOs, and the other Big Four accounting firms on a project to propose a core set of metrics that help companies demonstrate their long term value and societal impact.”
