Can you tell us about where you work now and what ’s your position ?

CC : I ’ ve been working as a project manager since August last year at OnePlanet, a tech company based in London We offer consulting services on sustainability strategy as well as a platform to manage your sustainability strategy

Is there a connection between where you are and EHL , or do you believe that you ’ ve completely gone out of the scope ?

CC: No * laughs*. There is a connection

At EHL I ’ ve gathered very valuable knowledge that I can now apply to my everyday life when it comes to managing client expectations and delivering projects among others .

One of the themes for this eJournal is transformation and it aligns with OnePlanet What is your company trying to achieve and what are some KPIs for the next 2 to 3 years ?

CC : We realised that the world is working in silos , be it within society or companies This can lead to misalignment of a company ' s overall strategy and its purpose can be diluted at different levels

We come in to check the alignment and progress of strategy between different departments and offer a way to easily manage the sustainability strategy, bringing everyone on board with the objective of reaching Shared Outcomes This is done by implementing specific Actions and tracking Shared Indicators

One of the issues with sustainability today is that there are lengthy processes to get a certification . Our platform simplifies this : data can be seen in different frameworks simultaneously. Reporting is also facilitated : documents are created in one click

Is there a way Alumni can collaborate with OnePlanet ?

CC: Absolutely, we are always looking for new partners to embrace the platform , we also give advice and consult as needed .

Many companies realise the importance of sustainability but don ' t know where to start We can help get the ball rolling Kind of practical guidance until they are able to manage our intuitive platform by themselves . Clients often feedback on how simple we make managing sustainability !

Who can they reach out to to get more information ?

CC: I ’d love to speak to anyone who is interested We also give free demo calls and we have some extra resources available on our website , such as quick explainer videos You can also sign up for a free account from our website , to get a taste of the platform

What would you say to the students and Alumni in general in terms of your experience ? Any wise advice to share ?

CC: For the ones that are now graduating , it ’s very important to find a job that aligns with your values and something that you are making an impact on

For the Alumni that graduated before me , sustainability has become an integral aspect of any business , and making this change is very important Complying to sustainable matters will not only be about challenges , but it will also bring in new opportunities .

And if anyone reading this is in Milan , send me a message I ’d love to meet more Alumni
