How do we create new paradigms that shift the current economic incentives that ignore negative externalities like carbon emissions? One method is through new economic markets. But in order to build those markets, the players new frameworks and methodologies that govern the new market. Taking on this type of work requires a penchant for rule making and attention to detail. Not everyone is cut out for this work but there is a small group of organizations helping move the world closer to net zero by establishing the foundation for new markets and the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) is one of those key leaders.
RSB is a global membership organization that drives the sustainable transition to a bio-based and circular economy. RSB’s sustainability framework has been developed by its multi-stakeholder membership, and is a uniquely robust and credible foundation for supporting innovative solutions to the climate crisis. RSB uses this foundation to develop projects, new knowledge and solutions that equip key decision-makers to deliver positive impacts for people and the planet.
RSB’s Executive Director, Elena Schmidt, has a strong sustainability background with a record of delivering robust product and business model innovations, serving as Head of the TÜV SÜD Certification Body for Climate and Energy before joining RSB. She has extensive experience in working with complex chain of custody settings, developing strategic business models, and managing innovation projects to establish new certification services in the private and public sector. She holds Master’s degrees in both Environmental and Political Sciences.
If you’d like to get in touch with Elena, you can follow her on LinkedIn or follow RSB on Twitter.
