Meet Elizabeth Cockle, SEA! She's a natural storyteller, committed to creating a more sustainable future, Elizabeth has built her career on the ability to blend strategic #marketing with #sustainability, #ESG and hot topic issues. We love this glimpse into her story: "Growing up, I was the weird kid whose school lunches were packed in rinsed-out milk bags and empty cookie bags because my mom was passionate about reducing #waste. I also loved writing stories. So it made sense that environmental purpose and storytelling would shape my career." Read why she decided to earn her SEA credential: https://bit.ly/4leTVO2

"If I must choose one word to summarize the critical lesson I came away with, it is #interconnectedness. The warming oceans, the accelerating ice melting, the presence of microplastics in one of the most remote places on Earth — these changes are not caused by local activity on the icy continent of our South Pole. We can all agree on that." After recent travels in Antarctica, Ana Bachurova, M.Sc., MBA shares her insights into our current environmental realities and how practitioners in #sustainable development can advance positive impacts. She currently serves as Energy Efficiency Lead at United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). Read her POV: https://bit.ly/4iF5coS
