The GreenBiz 30 Under 30: Meet the rising stars of sustainability

For the ninth year, GreenBiz is publishing our 30 Under 30 list, which recognizes the rising stars of sustainability. These young people are driving change, at scale, at some of the world’s largest organizations.

At a time when a large majority of early-career professionals say that having a meaningful mission is important in their career, our 30 Under 30 are making a difference at corporate giants like BlackRock, Estée Lauder and Whole Foods; startups such as HelloFresh and Circ, and non-governmental organizations including EDF and GRID Alternatives. 

This year’s class includes: 

• Sneha Balasubramanian, who helps quantify Cisco’s Scope 3 supply chain emissions by gathering data from across the $186 billion company’s many divisions.

• Ngozi Chukwueke, who verifies that Starbucks’ suppliers in East Africa are selling beans sourced ethically from farms that meet environmental and economic equity standards.

• Dan Dinh, who drives green chemistry, ingredient transparency and packaging sustainability for Estée Lauder in New York.

• Nicoline Good, who manages BlackRock’s multimillion-dollar budget for emissions reductions and who wrote guidelines for carbon removal and sustainable aviation fuel credits at the $10 trillion investment management company.
