"The current economic and financial system is failing to address the challenges we face. Over the past six years, my work on the climate and nature crises has exposed the varied—and mostly inadequate—responses of organizations to these urgent issues. Frank Bold stands out by combining essential policy work with the practical implementation in proactive businesses. Moreover, Frank Bold offers a truly equitable work environment, a rare and invaluable quality in today’s world."
