Founder of the first consultancy firm in Portugal dedicated to Sustainable Development. Sair da Casca was born out of the conviction that companies are the engine of change and that socially responsible behaviour creates a ‘virtuous circle’ that is decisive for business success. On a personal level, she lectures on sustainability, follows the main environmental and social innovation forums in Portugal and Europe, and has been heavily involved as a volunteer in various associations.
At Sair da Casca, she is responsible for the company's development and monitors sustainability trends and strategies. An ‘activist’ for sustainable development and social innovation, her role is also to contribute to the dissemination of concepts, ideas and good practices around sustainable development and social innovation through the production of studies, seminars, participation in conferences and interventions at universities.
