Nikkie Vinke
Multidisciplinary advisor in ESG benchmarking, sustainability strategy development and execution. | nikkie@finchandbeak.com
'My drive for ‘changing the world’ has always been there. I became aware of the concept of CSR during my bachelor studies, and while sustainability has since gone mainstream, it's often not effective enough yet or not addressing the right issues.
Over the past decade, the financial crisis and digital disruption from unexpected players have showed that companies must continue to evolve in order to survive. Through Finch & Beak, I help companies apply sustainability and innovation to deliver tangible value that executives can work with, and enables them to see, shape and expand the company's societal contribution.'

Naomi Klein's 'No Logo' is often portrayed as a manifest against globalization, but in my opinion it is a strong call for corporate responsibility that laid the finger on some very sore spots at the time. Things have changed, mostly for the better, but its basic notion of straightforward decency and required change for a sustainable future stays intact.
