In addition to this, Denominator’s CEO, Anders Rodenberg, was invited to a dinner hosted by Mastercard’s Chief Sustainability Officers, Ellen Jackowski, at Goals House as well as a round table organized by EY.
Furthermore, our team also joined venues and events such as the Green Zone, World Climate Summit, the Innovation Zone, Bloomberg Green, Accenture, as well as receptions hosted by the Danish Embassy in UAE and more.
Since COP26 in Glasgow, Denominator and The Female Quotient have been measuring and following the progress of performance within Gender Equality and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion within sustainability.
