Susanna Arus

EU Public Affairs Manager

The engagement of our team in developing the EU legal framework for corporate responsibility, transparency and accountability is based on drawing the necessary knowledge from experts, as well as establishing constructive dialogue with multiple actors representing varied perspectives. I believe this approach to work is key to building a resilient path towards systemic change.

Susanna leads in the implementation of the advocacy strategy on topics connected to corporate ESG reporting. She coordinates the Alliance for Corporate Transparency, an initiative set up by Frank Bold in 2019 to bring together civil society and progressive voices to advance the EU legal framework, standards and practice for companies’ disclosure of their sustainability risks and impacts. She also manages the strategic engagement with stakeholders in the EU and globally together with her colleagues.

Susanna is a graduate of the journalism program at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Spain, and joined the Responsible Companies team in Brussels in 2015.
