## Resource

Philippe Routhier is an ESG and sustainability practitioner with a non-traditional path into the field. He began his career in professional kitchens, where he learned discipline, failure, and how to lead under pressure, before transitioning into tech and corporate operations.Today, his work focuses on building practical ESG programs, navigating imperfect systems, and helping teams understand not just what needs to be done, but why. Philippe is especially interested in how setbacks, regulatory gaps, and lived experience shape more resilient approaches to sustainability over time.
