Shireen Khan
Managing Director
Carbon Zro
"I am driven by the belief that business, when guided by systems thinking and grounded in equity, can be a powerful engine for sustainable change.
I am energized by finding creative, practical solutions to big challenges, whether that means redesigning products, processes, and systems to reduce waste, reducing Scope 3 emissions across a global supply chain, aligning investor expectations with decarbonization targets, or building resilient communities.
Working with global CEOs, entrepreneurs, policymakers, or engineers, I bring pragmatic optimism: a belief that progress is possible and that cross-sector collaboration, intellectual rigor, and humility are the keys to achieving it.
I see sustainable development as a space where engineering, economics, and empathy must co-exist. It is in this complexity that I do my best work — designing solutions that create value for business, uplift society, and make room for human dignity."
