About Makiko Ashida

I am an international award-winning corporate sustainability expert. I believe that business is key to delivering the change we need. This belief is based on my own experience at Panasonic in Japan. My experience at the UN Environment has convinced me that business can play the important role to find solutions for cross-border problems. With over 15-year of experience as a sustainable investment analyst, I can help companies develop, prioritise and implement sustainability strategies based on their unique business models for their own resilience in a longer-term.
