The CEO-led Climate Alliance has a new co-Chair to lead its global climate action.
Mr. Sumant Sinha, Chairman and CEO of ReNew, has been named Co-Chair of the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders to lead its global climate action.
Mr Sinha joins a group of influential leaders from top global companies – Ester Baiget, CEO, Novonesis; Jesper Brodin, CEO, Ingka Group Ikea; Feike Sybesma, Chairman, Supervisory Board, Royal Philips; and Rich Lesser, Global Chair, BCG and Alliance Chief Advisor.
The alliance, the largest CEO-led climate alliance in the world, and a flagship initiative of the World Economic Forum, will work closely with a cohort of 130-member CEOs across 12 Industries to drive strategic priorities. Collectively, it represents $4 trillion in revenues and 5.2 GT of carbon emissions, equivalent to 10 percent of global emissions across all scopes.
Mr Sinha’s leadership of the largest CEO-led Climate Alliance Worldwide will bring significant experience to the community committed to raising bold climate ambition by doubling down on Scope-3 emissions, decarbonization and policy engagement for a low-carbon regulatory environment.
“The Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders has been instrumental in driving systemic action and fostering public-private collaboration in the global energy transition. I look forward to engaging with a group of talented co-chairs and global CEOs committed to delivering tangible climate solutions and innovations across geographies and businesses,” Mr Sinha said.
Gim Huay Neo, Managing Director, World Economic Forum, said, “The Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders is vital in scaling and accelerating climate action. We are thrilled that Sumant has agreed to lead the Alliance as Co-Chair. His extensive experience as Founder, Chairman, and CEO of ReNew, along with his insights into energy transition in emerging and developing economies, will be invaluable. My team and I look forward to collaborating with him to amplify the Alliance’s positive impact globally.”
