Donald Eubank
Sustainability Advisory Services, Carbon Emission Strategies, and Future of Food Research in Tokyo, Japan
I am an advisor to organizations that seek to create corporate value from the implementation of ESG, Sustainability and SDGs principles and practices. I focus on developing powerful sustainable business and corporate decarbonization strategies backed by an understanding of each organization’s unique nature and the need to embed sustainability knowledge across various functional roles.
As part of this work, I co-founded the Sustainability Roundtable at Temple University, Japan Campus’ International Business Studies, have been a guest lecturer at the Ban Ki-moon ESG Academy and Waseda Business School, and am an advisor to the Value Research Center at Doshisha University. I organized the GRIPS’ Disruptive Inclusive Innovation forum on Impact Investing with Sir Ronald Cohen, have been a five-time panel judge for the Global Corporate Sustainability Awards, and am a regular speaker at high-profile events such as the Global Corporate Sustainability Forum and the World Fintech Festival.
A graduate of St. John's College, I apply the critical thinking acquired from the school's Great Books program of the History of Science and Philosophy to take deep dives on difficult new subjects and determine future directions for business strategy.
