What does it take to build a supermarket designed for a low-carbon future? For Anna, it starts at the core. As Head of Sustainability at Picnic Technologies, the digital-first food retailer with 20,000+ employees across the Netherlands, Germany, and France, Anna is embedding climate action, sustainable sourcing, and circularity directly into the engine of the business. Not as a side project. As strategy. From buying processes to platform development, she ensures sustainability is built into how Picnic operates, scales, and serves millions of customers.

Her perspective spans the full impact ecosystem. Anna helped shape global reporting standards at the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) before moving into fast-growing private companies to build high-performing ESG functions from the ground up. Policy and practice. Frameworks and execution. She is also the author of How to Be a Chief Sustainability Officer, and a dedicated mentor, speaker, and lecturer—equipping the next generation of leaders to turn ambition into action.
