Business sustainability ratings and solutions provider EcoVadis announced the appointment of former CDP Chief Commercial and Partnerships Officer Dexter Galvin as its new Climate Ambassador.

In his new role, Galvin will be responsible for working with the company’s partners and customers to decarbonize supply chains, and representing EcoVadis at leading climate forums.

Pierre-Francois Thaler, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at EcoVadis said:

“Unlocking the next generation of Scope 3 emissions reduction requires a new level of carbon data reliability that does not exist in the market today. Dexter’s experience and expertise will be instrumental as we continue on our mission to decarbonize supply chains faster.”

Galvin joins EcoVadis after 16 years at climate research provider and environmental disclosure platform CDP, where he built and led the organization’s flagship supply chain program, which reached more than 20,000 suppliers worldwide under his tenure.

Galvin said:

“EcoVadis provides organizations access to the highest quality primary carbon data available on the market today, and plays a pivotal role in driving meaningful action on reducing emissions and building resilience across the global supply chain. This role is an incredible opportunity to work alongside the smartest minds in business sustainability and make an exponential impact at scale.”
