Welcome to Sustainability Magazine ' s Top 250 Women in Sustainability 2025 – a celebration of trailblazers, innovators and change-makers who are reshaping our world for the better. This International Women’ s Month we spotlight the 250 leading female executives tackling climate change, championing social equity and revolutionising business practices. This marks the fourth edition of our Top Women in Sustainability feature, with the top spots this year going to leaders from Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Starbucks, Schneider Electric and Amazon.

This list contains executives who have redirected corporate resources toward regenerative practices, scientists who developed technologies that seemed implausible a decade ago, community organisers who transformed local economies and policymakers who navigated competing interests to enact meaningful change.

What ' s striking is not just their individual achievements, but the networks they ' ve built – collaborations that cross disciplines, borders and ideological divides. In these connections lie our most promising paths forward.

We hope you enjoy exploring the incredible careers of these inspiring women.
