Background

I am an accomplished professional with a focus on sustainability reporting, serving as a catalyst for ethical corporate practices. My commitment extends to the pivotal role of ethical investing in corporate decision-making, emphasized in my research and teaching. In capital investment, I am passionate about the paradigm shift where indicators go beyond finances. Sustainability, reflected in corporate social responsibility initiatives, is pivotal, driven by investor preferences and corporate awareness of climate change.

My approach integrates cultural nuances in corporate social responsibility, emphasizing global diversity and respect. Research spans critical issues, including gender equality and preventing greenwashing.
