Amanda Gardiner, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact Network USA, joins Jennifer and Kati for a conversation about leading one of the world's most influential corporate sustainability networks and why this moment calls for a new kind of community.
With a career spanning the United Nations, Fortune 500s like Meta and Verizon, and global education company Pearson, Amanda brings hard-won lessons about integrating ESG strategy across decentralized organizations. She shares her experience building trust with stakeholders and mapping value chains to unlock influence.
We also dig into the evolving language of sustainability and how the UN Global Compact is helping companies navigate reduced budgets, leadership turnover and regulatory uncertainty.
