June 15th @ 8:15am:  We are excited to restart our Leadership Breakfast Series! 

Join us for this special program as HCRT Board Member Grace Ueng (HBS MBA ’91) hosts a breakfast chat with local sustainability leader, Brad Ives.

After leaving UNC as Chief Sustainability Officer, Brad wanted to continue to use his expertise to buoy sustainable business models. To this end, he co-founded a consulting firm, Credo ESG Solutions.  Popular amongst socially conscious investors, "ESG" involves using non-financial factors, including Environmental, Social, and Governance elements to evaluate companies on how far advanced they are with respect to sustainability.

 

His firm assists private equity firms and their portfolio companies in fulfilling market demands for transparency, measurement, and improvement in environmental, social, and governance performance. ESG is growing in importance as a meaningful approach 

to evaluating the extent to which a corporation works on behalf of social goals that go beyond the role of a corporation to maximize profits on behalf of shareholders. 

 

An innovative environmental pacesetter, Brad was honored by the NC Sustainability Energy Association with its Individual Energy Leader Award.

His experience spans the U.S. and U.K., as a structured finance lawyer on Wall Street, investment manager in London, CEO of two cleantech startups, and as a public servant.  A graduate of the NC School of Science and Math, Brad earned his B.A. and J.D. from UNC where he was a Morehead-Cain Scholar.
