2020 is set to see a continuation of the sustainability-focused corporate strategies that accelerated at pace in 2019 , and our cover feature this month exemplifies the trend . Catering and facilities firm Sodexo Australia is instilling sustainable and ethical approaches to waste management , procurement and Indigenous employment . Mark Chalmers , CFO and Country President for Sodexo ’ s Australian operations , spoke with us about the Better Tomorrow 2025 roadmap underpinning this sustainability transformation . “ Sodexo ’ s Better Tomorrow 2025 aligns with the UN ’ s sustainable development goals and focuses on three levels of impact : the individual , the community where we all thrive , and the environment within which we operate ,” he says .

Elsewhere , we spoke with Pat Dever , Chief Data Strategist at American energy provider Avista , about the company ’ s growth in an increasingly sustainability-focused marketplace .

Algae , meanwhile , takes the stage in a feature detailing its lesser known qualities and how they could save the world .

This month ’ s Top 10 examines the world ’ s leading electric vehicle manufacturers and , as always , we run down some of the biggest energy and sustainability events from the coming months in our Events and Associations spread .
