Sustainability Magazine's Top 100 Women

We’re looking back on a year of advocacy for female leadership and reminiscing on Sustainability Magazine’s Top 100 Women supplement from 2023

Since this year’s Sustainability LIVE London, we’ve been thinking about the role of women in the corporate environment and how they change the way we think about sustainability as an embedded business prospect.

Organisations also share great support for female representation in leadership, knowing they have a particular knack for empathy and climate advocacy.

In 2023, Sustainability Magazine recognised a list of the amazing women in the industry with influence on the next generation of business. These women share their expertise across industries, including the energy sector, automotive, technology, consumer goods, and consulting firms.

Here are the top 5 women in the Top 100 Women in Sustainability:

1. Kate Brandt, Google

2. Musidora Jorgensen, Microsoft

3. Rebecca Marmot, Unilever

4. Kathryn Alsegaf, Deloitte

5. Paulette Frank, Johnson & Johnson

Leading women from the energy sector

This year’s list also includes a number of energy sector professionals who ensure the sustainability of the energy that is provided to homes, businesses, and for their mobility. Executives in the list from energy companies include:

Judith Weise, Siemens
Gwenaelle Avice-Huet, Schneider Electric
Katherine Neebe, Duke Energy
Rachel McEwen, SSE
Sandy Nessing, American Electric Power
Kathrina Mannion, BP
Lisa Ekstrand, Vestas
Ida Krabek, Orsted

And when it comes to energy, electrification of mobility is one of the major shifts taking place, particularly prominent in 2023, which we must recognise through the automotive industry leaders and their efforts to build sustainable vehicles and decarbonise their demanding supply chains.
