"Modern CSR management and reporting require effective collaborations between different departments. This reality is even more pronounced in Sustainable Supply Chains where collaborations will need to cross corporate boundaries. In order to be successful, such partnerships must bridge diverse disciplines, interests, and viewpoints, while meeting specific standards. I aim to apply my experience with sustainability, CSR, and collaborative processes in order to identify opportunities and foster collaborations towards successful sustainability reporting and management."
