Anastasia Kyrmanidou, Ph.D.
Senior Sustainability Analyst

How long have you been with KERAMIDA?

I have been with KERAMIDA since January 2019.

What do you love about this line of work?

Being able to work on a variety of issues with a diverse range of companies and professionals. It’s very interesting to be able to see how companies conceptualize and operationalize sustainability in their day-to-day operations.

What continues to drive your passion for sustainability?

I am encouraged by the increasing number of companies committing to reduce their emissions by setting science-based targets, the advancement of green technologies that are being developed to make business operations more sustainable, and the reshaping of finance as investors think about the financial risks and opportunities in relation to climate change.

What do you think it will take for the world to address the climate crisis?

Everyone has a role to play in mitigating climate change. This requires planning for a sustainable future based on clearly defined priorities. It requires individual commitment, responsible business, and regional, state, national, and international policies translated into actions.

What do you believe is the most meaningful/impactful aspect of your role?

Providing recommendations to clients to meet the needs of their immediate sustainability reporting activities, but also providing support for the implementation of their broader sustainability perspectives.

What are some of your hobbies outside of work?

I like to hike, read books, swim, and cook.
