Higg hires from Microsoft to build partnerships
Josh Henretig worked with Microsoft for 17 years and helped shape the sustainability agenda at the company, from its first public environmental commitments in 2008 to its recently announced goal to become "carbon negative".
Higg Co CEO Jason Kibbey said: "Achieving Higg Co's mission of consistent and comparable sustainability data across consumer goods industries requires rapid proliferation, exchange and disclosure of the data. Strategic partnerships are absolutely critical to that effort. Josh brings a unique combination of technical understanding and insight into the sustainability challenges being addressed by the world's largest businesses and we're thrilled to have him join the executive team.”
