How Arina is building a better working world
I’m passionate about helping organizations and regulators consider the broader value-chain resilience, impacts and value creation from the ESG aspects.
I lead a purpose-driven and diverse team that focuses on helping clients identify strategic opportunities to transition to a low carbon economy, address emerging ESG risks and build resilience in facing systemic shocks such as climate crisis and pandemics.
I also regularly engage with and share my knowledge and experience with university students about sustainability principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
