EVENT REVIEW

“ I ’ ve been in sustainability for over 20 years as a lawyer and it ’ s been a fantastic career , it ’ s been dynamic , innovative and full of fantastic people who all want to make a difference ”

MICHELLE DAVIES GLOBAL HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY , EY
One of the key moments of the day – and an early start for many – was an exclusive panel on Women in Sustainability , leaving then stage one host Scott Birch with minimal work to keep the conversation going . The all-female panel spoke of some key points both in terms of women representing the sustainability portion of business but also female leadership as a whole . All of the panellists were keen to share a new perspective on work-life balance , stressing that each person and family is different .
On the panel was Michelle Davies , Global Head of Sustainability at EY , who spoke with us backstage .
“ The Women in Sustainability panel was really to show them that there are wider opportunities in sustainability . I ’ ve been in sustainability for over 20 years as a lawyer and it ’ s been a fantastic career , it ’ s been dynamic , innovative and full of fantastic people who all want to make a difference ,” says Davies .
