As CEO of Maersk Line, I asked Helle and her team to do an assessment and facilitate discussions with the leadership team around the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles, and to help us identify our risks and opportunities. The interviews and facilitated discussions helped us to both reduce company risk and identify innovative opportunities. The ideas that Helle helped us generate resulted in new business opportunities that were both profitable and transformational for our business.
Helle made invaluable contributions through the start-up phase of Act NOW. Her staunch support and advice was a tremendous help to Act NOW in our endeavours to seek out and engage the right stakeholders. Act NOW is very proud to count her among our ambassadors, and to be able to rely and draw on her experience and the experiences of her B.Accountability team.
Helle facilitated a series of sessions on Sustainability for PwC’s global board and global leadership. The sessions not only informed, but also formed a clear business case and action plan for PwC. As a facilitator, Helle is incredibly knowledgeable, focused, and has an inspiring and energetic flair.
Helle assisted IKEA’s global sustainability team during many years; she helped IKEA refine its sustainability supply chain strategy, develop the supplier code of conduct program, and train IKEA co-workers and suppliers. She also conducted monitoring visits of IKEA suppliers, and helped to build a strategy and implementation plan around engaging and communication with suppliers and local communities.
Helle joined me for the launch of WindMade under the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2011. Her knowledge about sustainability, integrated reporting, and greenhouse gas emissions has been of high value to both Vestas and other WindMade partners.
We invited Helle to speak with our Board of Directors Corporate Responsibility Committee. The discussion reinforced the essentiality of strong alignment and the importance of stakeholder engagement and embedding sustainability within the business functions and value chain; a journey that Helle and her company afterwards helped us embark on. Helle brings unique insight and perspective that is rooted in her many years of global business experience.
Helle has a unique expertise in assisting domestic and internationally operating companies with the profitable implementation of sustainability into their corporate strategies, core activities, and into their communication with stakeholders.
I have known Helle for a number of years, she has always been a remarkable store of information about sustainability issues and projects. She was an inspiration behind sustainability reporting for the accounting profession in Europe and then in North America, and has been a continuous source of advice to me as the concepts of integrated reporting have developed. She brings great expertise, experience and intellect to the integrated reporting process and I would recommend her to those looking to implement in the coming years.
