About me
Mr Philippe Diaz has a diverse professional background with experience in industry, consulting, non-governmental organisations as well as multilateral institutions. He has work experience spanning over 10 years across Asia, Africa, and the European Union. Until recently he was Senior Manager at the Sustainable Finance Unit of the WWF Germany. His expertise lies within corporate reporting, science-based target-setting and sustainability strategy with a focus on biodiversity and ecosystems.
He continues to closely engage with a range of civil society actors and sustainable business associations to help advance and implement good practice in regard to legislation under the EU Green Deal aiming at advancing the transition to a socially just economy that operates within the planetary boundaries. Beyond the CSRD / ESRS, this includes the SFDR, CSDDD and EU taxonomy.
He further dedicates time to exploring the macroeconomic impacts of this transition both at the level of individual corporations and financial markets.
Mr Diaz holds a Master's degree in Sustainable Development from Uppsala University and a diploma in Energy and Development from the School of Oriental and African Studies of London.

I rather reject some work than to lose myself in conflicts of interests or having to compromise on calling what I consider problematic.> Political engagement on ESRS / CSRD, CSDDD, SFDR > Provide implementation advice on ESRS to help establish good practices > Supporting projects on nature-related accounting and strategy that have the potential for conceptual advancements > Advancing a discussion on macroeconomics, as the size of the economy simply does not fit into the planetary boundaries My independence is important to me.
