About Akshita Misra

An ESG and Sustainability Expert presently working as Assistant Vice President- Sustainability, I have over 13 years of working experience in the field of ESG, sustainability, labor, stakeholder engagement, gender, human rights, development and inclusion, land and resettlement, indigenous people, sustainability reporting and disclosures, management plan development, ESG/Sustainability Strategy and GHG emission accounting. Over these 13 years, I have developed an in-depth firsthand experience of working across different geographies across South Asia, Europe and Americas, sectors and clients on high risk and complex projects. I see Sustainability as more than just a regulatory compliance, but as a true lever for strategic value addition. I am a strategic and compassionate leader known for my technical depth, integrity, and ability to deliver high-quality work under pressure. I foster a collaborative and supportive environment, ensuring fairness while protecting and empowering my team. With strong problem-solving skills and a positive attitude, I take ownership, communicate effectively, and provide thoughtful mentorship to drive impactful and sustainable outcomes.
