Smart, the global retirement technology platform provider, has appointed Rowena Humphreys to the new role of group sustainability director.
Prior to joining Smart, Humphreys worked as a consultant for more than 20+ international organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on the design and implementation of strategic sustainability programmes, including with UNAIDS and the World Food Programme to improve operational efficiency, drive growth, and deliver impact.
Smart says the new position was created as part of the company’s continued efforts to reduce its environmental and social impact to meet its objective of becoming a net-zero firm.
Smart chief strategy officer Michelle Darracott says: “As part of our strategic commitment to become a net-zero company, I am delighted to welcome Rowena to Smart. Her depth of expertise in environmental sustainability and economic inclusion make her the ideal candidate to play an integral part in achieving our ambitions of becoming a leading sustainable business.”
Smart group sustainability director Rowena Humphreys says: “Smart has laid the foundations for its sustainability journey and there are already some exciting initiatives in place. Given the pace of industry change combined with Smart’s ambitious plans means we need to ramp this up and I’m excited about taking on this role. Looking at how we can both identify and communicate existing initiatives, as well as explore new ideas for how we can add additional value to Smart through its sustainability offering.”
