ISEAL is led by a Senior Management Team and governed by a Board of Directors. ISEAL also has an informal governance body – the Stakeholder Council – which provides strategic advice and input to ISEAL’s membership and Board.
Senior Management Team
Our Senior Management Team directs our day-to-day work around the world. It’s made up of five Directors, and brings together a diverse and international collection of talents.
Karin Kreider, Executive Director
Patrick Mallet, Director, Innovations

Philip Wilson, Director, Finance and Operations
ISEAL Board
Our Board includes representatives from nine of our full member organisations. It guides the strategic direction of ISEAL’s work and provides final approval for our business plans, annual work plans and large-scale projects. It meets four to five times each year. The Board is supported in its work by three sub-committees: the Executive Committee, the Finance Committee and the Membership Committee.

Stakeholder Council
The Stakeholder Council is made up of sustainability leaders and experts from the private and finance sectors, NGOs, governmental bodies and academic institutions, who meet annually in conjunction with ISEAL’s Annual General Meeting to discuss how ISEAL members can effectively respond to opportunities and challenges in the rapidly evolving sustainability landscape.
