Marion Chivot
Development & Research Analyst, SustainAbility, London
An enthusiastic and motivated individual seeking an international career in corporate communications or corporate responsibility. Possessing excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to relate to a wide range of people.
Graduated with distinction from the International Business School of La Rochelle, France with a double Masters diploma in management and sustainable development strategy with a major in CSR, I have joined the London office of SustainAbility in May 2011. I provide research support for clients from various sectors, and also develop and support processes for communications and research initiatives.
I will closely publish my thesis in Management des organisations et RSE : Etudes de cas (Pluchart J-J.& Uzan O.) on sustainable project finance and the relevance of the Equator Principles with HSBC Group as the focal point.
It is crucial for me to play my part in building a more sustainable world, for I believe it is necessary for humanity, but also promising in businesses. Integrating sustainability issues in corporate strategies should become a natural reflex, proving that sustainable development is not an oxymoron.
