Mastercard announced Ellen Jackowski will join the company as Chief Sustainability Officer starting July 25, 2022. In this role, she will be instrumental in further integrating Mastercard’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy into the organization.
“We are excited to welcome Ellen as our new Chief Sustainability Officer. She is widely regarded as a leader and innovator on ESG, and we look forward to her working with partners across the company to take Mastercard to the next level in our ESG efforts,” said Mike Froman, Vice Chairman and President of Strategic Growth for Mastercard.
Mastercard established its ESG efforts more than a decade ago with a focus on financial inclusion, inclusive growth and data responsibility. Over the past five years, it has evolved to also include being good stewards of the environment and ensuring high standards of corporate governance. Today, the company’s ESG activities are rooted in a belief of doing well by doing good in order to have true impact and enable both people and the planet to thrive.
“We’ve got strong momentum in making ESG a true differentiator — and value driver — for the company,” said Shamina Singh, Founder and President of the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth. “Ellen will be a great addition, helping to expand our efforts as we look at what is most important to our company and where we can deliver the greatest impact on society.”
