GM signed on for concrete , cement , steel and aluminium – all areas where there ' s lot of progress being made , but more can be done .
By collaborating with peers across many industries and showing that there ' s demand for green products and the green transition , I think is encouraging sectors to accelerate their transition even faster . We want to be part of that solution .
Q . WHY IS SUSTAINABILITY IMPORTANT TO YOU PERSONALLY ?
» I ' m an engineer by degree and engineers are trained to solve problems . Frankly , there ' s no bigger problem that we have than climate change and how we can make sure that our company is resilient to all of those outside factors .
I ' m also a mum of three boys and I want to make sure that their future is as bright as possible . I believe that an incredibly important part of that is ensuring that we leave a green and sustainable planet for them and their children .
Q . WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF ACHIEVING IN YOUR ROLE AS CSO AT GM ?

I ' ve seen our company embrace sustainability . I ' ve seen it weaved into our business , to our culture and our objectives , and really become seen as an opportunity for growth and value for the company .
