The UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF) has welcomed Michael Meehan as its new chair.
Meehan has been a chief executive and board member in sustainability for almost 20 years and has worked with organisations and governments around the world including the World Economic Forum, California State Senate, the White House, and the United Nations.
He sits on the boards of several impact organisations including the London-based Natural Capital Coalition and TCR Innovations, and is the former CEO of the Global Reporting Initiative.
UKSIF chief executive Simon Howard said: “Meehan’s international experience maps well onto the changing nature of UK sustainable finance: driven by the needs of our UK members but intimately linked to global developments. This is an exciting time for members with the commitment to net zero and the launch of the Green Finance Strategy, we approach it with confidence.”
