About Cassandra Garber

I have the wonderful opportunity to lead global sustainability strategy and execution with a fantastic team at General Motors.Focused on delivering both business and societal value, we are driving toward a future with zero congestion, zero emissions, and zero crashes. Carbon neutrality, circular economy and ethical business practices are smart business, sustainable business - and core to what we do every day.It’s so important that we tackle these challenges ambitiously and graciously to create a positive impact. Driving positive societal change isn’t a feel-good exercise for me, I want to be able to look back on my life and career and know that I’ve been a force for good. Which is why I’ve spent my career navigating the complex challenge of business and societal value, and I can’t stop working on it.I take seriously the responsibility to act in a way that will have a positive impact for future generations. For example, as a mom to 3 and wife to my very best friend, my family and I love to explore U.S. national parks, cities everywhere, and all the unique spots in between (we love thinking about life as one big adventure). I\'m so grateful to be able to commit my career to help make sure my children, and children across the globe, will be able to make those same memories with their children for generations to come.
