Ellen\'s Final Five Question Responses

What is one piece of advice you would give to other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?

Network. Especially in this covid pandemic period where we\'re getting out of the house/office less often, it\'s important to keep your network going and those relationships with great other sustainability professionals alive.

What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability?

The investment and energy that\'s going into building sustainability programs from the corporate side and from the investment sector is very exciting.

What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read?

Profession and Purpose by Katie Kross. It\'s a guide for sustainability professionals wanting MBAs/wanting to go into sustainability.

What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?

The GreenBiz conference and the Sustainable Brands conference. Certainly conferences are good opportunity to get out and see a great deal of people. And also LinkedIn as a resource, especially as a recruiter. We use LinkedIn for all of our searches. So even if we have resumes or we know people, we\'re still looking at their LinkedIn profiles. Also the feed- to see who\'s got a new job or what they\'re doing, who\'s speaking, who has some accolade. It\'s a valuable tool so we\'re on LinkedIn a lot.
