The Beekly: Inside Russell Reynolds Associates’ Net Zero Journey
Description:
Join us for an in-depth conversation with Angela Fekete, sustainability leader at Russell Reynolds Associates (RRA), a global leadership advisory firm working with clients to build teams of transformational leaders to meet today’s challenges and anticipate the digital, economic, sustainability, and political trends that are reshaping the global business environment.
In this session, we’ll explore Angela’s career journey and the firm’s progress towards net zero within the global professional services landscape. Drawing from RRA’s 2024 Sustainability Report and Angela’s leadership of the firm’s decarbonization strategy, we’ll focus on the practical realities of designing and executing a sustainability program in a complex, global organization.
Rather than theory, this conversation will center on real processes, lessons learned, and what it takes to translate climate commitments into measurable progress.
Topics Include:
How RRA is preparing for CSRD
Designing and implementing a net-zero transition plan within a professional services model
Employee engagement programs that support decarbonization and firmwide participation
The best tools Angela uses across her work
