Julie Baddeley to retire as Chair and from the Board of Chapter Zero by mid-2025 and to continue her climate leadership at international level

Julie Baddeley, Chair of Chapter Zero, has advised of her intention to retire as Chair and from the Board of Chapter Zero by mid-2025. She will continue her climate leadership at the international level.

Julie has been a driving force within Chapter Zero and will have served six years as Chair. Julie’s leadership in preparing Boards to tackle climate change will continue at an international level, including as Chair of the Board of Trustees of a newly formed charity, the Chapter Zero Alliance, and she will remain deeply supportive of Chapter Zero. We will have opportunities to thank Julie fully for her exceptional vision, leadership and engagement over the coming months.

The lead time enables Chapter Zero’s succession planning. A search is underway for a Chair to provide Board leadership for the next critical phase of Chapter Zero’s development.

For further questions, please contact Gillian Karran-Cumberlege, Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Chapter Zero, or Simon Page, Egon Zehnder (copy in Isabel Higuero), who are carrying out the independent search for the Chair of Chapter Zero role.
