Marissa Saretsky’s Post

Chief Sustainability Officer @ Sanofi Consumer Healthcare

After 4 light-filled and game-changing years at Pandora, the time has come for me to say goodbye to a job and city I have loved in order to catch the next big wave! During my time at Pandora, I found joy and energy not only in the milestone #sustainability moments but also in the “becoming.” Surrounded by collaborative, dedicated and fun colleagues, we progressively built momentum, learned as we went, and delivered amazing results together. Highlights include: 💎 Our switch from mined to lab-grown diamonds, grown, cut and polished with 100% renewable energy. The diamond market today is transformed. ♻️ Pandora’s transition to sourcing 100% recycled silver and gold. As the largest jeweller in the world, this was no small feat and will hopefully spur more circular advances across the industry. 🌎 Setting a science-based climate target to halve absolute emissions by 2030 and making demonstrable progress against baseline (-27%). 🏃🏻♀️ Driving a notable increase of women in leadership positions (+11pp). 🏅 Being recognized by TIME as one the World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2024, making it in the top 100! It was a privilege to engage and energize our 32,000 employees to integrate sustainability considerations into everyday practice. Thank you fearless Pandorians for your can-do attitude, and a hearty thanks to Alexander Lacik and the entire Executive Leadership Team for your support along this transformation journey. Tusind tusind tak Mads Twomey-Madsen for putting your trust in me with this opportunity, and to the powerhouse sustainability team for driving impact day in and day out. Without a doubt, this is a job to remember, and I'm full of gratitude for the experience. At the same time, I can't wait to tell you what I'm up to next… stayed tuned!

You forgot hiring all of the sustainability team and teaching us the Wim Hof breathing method to make winter bathing more bearable! Thanks for a wonderful three years together - I've learnt so much from you and you'll be missed very much (particularly every time I eat mayonnaise). We'll try our best to continue your legacy :-)
