ABOUT KEVIN HAGEN

Driving better financial results because of sustainable business strategy not despite it. Changing the way we do business so we can change the way business is done.I have had the privilege of leading sustainable business implementation at two multibillion dollar companies from first ever sustainability report to industry leading growth and financial performance as well as international recognition for achievement on their most material E, S and G issues. By implementing a thoughtful process for sustainable business strategy we’ve delivered economic, social and environmental results at scale.I\'ve learned a lot about what works, what doesn\'t work and what matters. I\'ve also had the chance to collaborate with an amazing network of people who are getting things done on environmental and social issues - within corporations, NGOs, government and academia. These powerful networks compare notes, enjoy the camaraderie of passionate people and are working together to deliver large scale results on some of the biggest challenges in business today.
