< back Decolonising sustainability Sustainability sciences are full of hidden biases More detailed information When you hear about ecology, veganism, ecofeminism, what persona do you see? At first glance, sustainability sciences may seem as if they’re neutral ways to study how we can sustain the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The problem is that since ecological transition and sustainability have become mainstream, we often associate sustainability, ecofeminism, and veganism with white people. This means that sustainability sciences are full of hidden biases. It is important to confront the colonial legacies that, to this day, perpetuate the notion that certain lives and ways of life are ‘unproductive’, ‘destructive’ and so on. For example, the "Southern" nations would be lagging behind in environmental protection, and non-western foods would be less healthy. By what means can we forge links between feminist and anti-racist struggles on the one hand and environmental struggles on the other? How can we raise awareness of the green practices that exist in non-male and non-white circles? Request a quote Submit About Dr. Ngomsik holds a PhD in physical and analytical chemistry and is a seasoned strategist specializing in climate change and corporate social responsibility. As the CEO and co-founder of Trianon Scientific Communication, a management consulting firm, Dr. Ngomsik leads efforts to assist businesses with the highest CO2 emissions in harmonizing sustainability with profitability.

Dr. Ngomsik firmly advocates for addressing the interconnected pillars of people, planet, and profit to effectively tackle today's sustainability challenges. Recognizing the value of diverse leadership and inclusive environments, Dr. Ngomsik emphasizes their role in driving innovation, problem-solving capabilities, revenue growth, and reducing organizational CO2 emissions. She integrates these principles into her consultancy work, viewing corporate environmental and social sustainability as catalysts for enhanced profitability. Dr. Ngomsik's expertise extends beyond devising strategies for emissions reduction; she actively promotes increased diversity among decision-makers within organizations, both in inherent traits and acquired perspectives.

The CARE strategic framework helps organizations transform with CARE, an acronym that stands for collaboration, agility, reliability, and empathy. Verstraete gives guest lectures with the CARE Principles at reputed universities such as Vlerick, Nyenrode, TU Delft or VU University in Amsterdam. Isabel researched during the pandemic how certain companies deal better with a crisis and discovered there is a pattern behind their success. She wrote a book about it called: ‘Does your brand care? Building a better world with the C A R E Principles.’ The C A R E Principles urges companies to place CARE for people and the planet at the core of the business strategy. Applying the CARE Principles starts internally by taking better CARE of your employees. The strategic model extends to clients, stakeholders, and CARE for the planet and taps into the ESG strategies.

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT SPEAKERSBASE What is Speakersbase? As you can read in the About section, Speakersbase was originally created in 2016 as an open platform to bring speakers and organisers together. There was no commercial objective and we offered our main activities (maintaining your speakers profile) as a free, no-commitment service to the public. In 2020 we decided to change this model drastically. Our ambition is to offer and commercially represent #virtualspeakers and hosts . These are people that we officially represent as a commercial booking agency. Why am I not on the list of current speakers? The current speakers are handpicked #virtualspeakers and hosts that we commercially represent as a booking agency for virtual events. If you are not on the list, it means that we do not have a deal to sell your services to our clients. As you will see, only a small group of people is represented so far. This list will grow in the near future with new speakers, yet we will always limit this to the amount of #virtualspeakers that we believe we can represent in a qualitative way. Can I become an active speaker or host? You can indeed apply to become one of our #virtualspeakers so that we can commercially represent you. Please bear in mind that this might take time: it is a manual process of selecting the best speakers we believe cover topics we want to offer to our clients. I have issues signing in to my old page, what's wrong? We are aware that the migration to the new domain caused some problems for a small group of users. Most of these issues should be fixed by now. If you still encounter problems, please let us know.​ Where are all the old speakers and their pages? Because of our new business model, the website now only shows the speakers that we offer to the market. This means that your speakerspage is no longer available through the main website. For now, the pages are still available on https://speakersbase.info although the plan is to eventually switch them off during summer. This should give you time to grab possible assets from your page and store them elsewhere. I want to keep on using my speakerspage, is that possible? For the time being your old speakerspage is still available on Speakersbase.info but we plan to eventually turn the pages off, as this is no longer our core business and these functionalities will no longer be supported. ​ Is there a chance that my old speakerspage will remain available anyway? We got many positive reactions from speakers that want to keep using their profile pages, even if we don't represent them as #virtualspeakers in the new Speakersbase. They expressed the willingness to pay a small fee for that. We are currently investigating if that is an option. The more interest we feel, the bigger the chance that we will offer a solution for this.​
