In our final show for the ESG series, we sit down with Isabella Susnjara. Isabella is the Head of Global Sustainability for DO & CO, based in Vienna, Austria. DO & CO is a global gourmet leader primarily serving airlines, Global Events, Restaurants, Lounges, and Hotels.
In this episode of "Career Illustrated", we sit down with Isabella, a sustainability maven and leading light in the gourmet catering industry. With her vision firmly anchored on the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and sustainability, Isabella reveals her top five initiatives for DO & CO and the pressing sustainability issues in the gourmet catering realm.
Additionally, we journey into the inner workings of Isabella's day-to-day life, a captivating narrative that balances strategic content development, managing global teams, and hiring across various time zones. Isabella gives us a candid view of the challenges and triumphs of her role, with inspiring stories of her early sacrifices to achieve a career that marries her passion and profession. Along the way, we get a glimpse into the heuristics she employs in hiring and her two-fold measure of success: company ratings and the emotional component of effecting mindset change. Isabella also provides clever ways to land a role in Sustainability, an industry that is in high demand for top talent.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in a career in Sustainability or anyone curious to understand the global impact of the catering industry on the environment.
