'My personal motivation to work with Corporate Responsibility is use business as a driving force to strive for a liveable planet for future generations. Making a profit is a necessity for every company that wants to maintain continuity. If sustainability forms an integrated part of the business process, sustainability creates value for both the business as its stakeholders. As a result, sustainability becomes a unique characteristic that goes beyond adding a green leaf to your logo. It will inspire and engage employees and partners to join the journey and bring innovation.'
