Janet Salem
Co-Founder at Footprint Lab
After 17 years at the United Nations, I’ve started FootprintLab to get sustainability into financial decision making.
It’s extremely simple - all the data needed has been floating around for decades, we’ve just partnered up well and converted it into formats that people who manage transactions can actually use.
If you manage ‘money data’, get in touch as there hasn’t been a case I haven’t figured out how to create a climate use case and find the right data to perfectly match.
Also a circular economy, sustainable lifestyles and sustainability policy person from my old life, with good networks in that world, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need advice.
