WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“I have engaged with Kate over my last four roles and, she remains one of the few experts who can meaningfully bridge the gap between truth-on-the-ground and high-level corporate and investor policies and expectations. Her inputs to the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark were valuable and informed by experience in-house and across Asia. Investors and companies can learn from Kate’s insights. Her advice is pragmatic, without losing sight of the real social and environmental issues that must be addressed.”
Dan Neale, Social Lead for a UK Ethical Investor, former Member of The Expert Working Group (Social) for The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), and former Programme Director, for the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB).
