We are delighted to announce the appointment of Madlen Jannaschk to the role of ESG Director for our global business. This new position will lead the evolution and implementation of our consultancy’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies, actions, and reporting.
Jannaschk has previously held the role of ESG Lead for Asia-Pacific, achieving significant milestones for both the business and our clients, including securing the first formal Climate Active certification for a property sector services provider. She has also led the development of comprehensive sustainability and decarbonisation strategies for clients including government departments, private health sector trusts, construction companies and commercial services organisations.
“The success of our work with clients underscores the importance of having measurable targets, verifying milestones and continually looking for opportunities to improve,” Jannaschk said.
“In my new role, I will be working across the business to ensure Cundall as an organisation continues to progress our own ESG commitments, embedding them in every aspect of our internal practices and equipping all our people to share the lessons we learn with clients and the wider industry.”
Cundall Managing Partner, Carole O’Neil, said the role is an important element of the company’s overarching strategy.
“Our strategic pillars include excellence in delivery and net zero carbon design. Effective ESG leadership is foundational to bringing these pillars to life for the benefit of our people and for the betterment of the built environment as a whole,” O’Neil said.
“Madlen brings enormous passion and a vast body of knowledge to her new role, ensuring Cundall’s policies, practices and systems align with global and relevant local standards, such as the EU Taxonomy, the ISSB mandatory reporting standards and Science Based Targets. Just as many of these major policy and regulatory initiatives touch our clients and their work, they also apply to us, and we are taking the lead on demonstrating best practice.”
