Julie Baddeley, Chair of the Board, Chapter Zero
I am honoured to become Chapter Zero’s CEO. Business has a disproportionate role in tackling the urgent climate crisis, and the non-exec boardroom is an underserved community. Through our NED community, Chapter Zero is driving impact on climate at scale. I couldn’t be more passionate about leading the organisation alongside our committed Board and partners. We are all working together with urgency to accelerate to the net-zero economy.
