UNEP ON THE GROUND |
Former CEO to steward UNEP’s Financial Partnership | |
UNEP announced on 24 February the appointment of Charles Anderson as the new director to head the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). The appointment comes at an important stage in UNEP’s preparations for the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA), the SG’s Climate Summit, the upcoming climate change framework negotiations and the post 2015 development agenda. Mr Anderson has more than 30 years of experience in the financial sector and has played key leadership roles in integrating Environmental, Social and Governance concerns into the private sector. As CEO of Sovereign, New Zealand's largest life and health insurance business, he successfully chartered the public-private divide, and was active in the global process that produced the landmark Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) launched at Rio+20 by UNEP FI. Previously he worked at Aviva as Managing Director for Asia Pacific and was an Associate of UK based Leader’s Quest, a not-for-profit promoting social change. He has also served as a Board member of the New Zealand Council for Sustainable Business Development and as Deputy Chair of the Financial Services Council in New Zealand. UNEP FI is also contributing to the recently launched UNEP Inquiry into the design of a sustainable financial system by drawing on the commitment and wealth of practical expertise from its 235 financial institutional members, as well as from its networks of partners, including finance industry associations, policy makers, financial regulators and other Sustainable Finance Initiatives.
