Sebastian Munden, Chair of the global board of trustees for the environmental action NGO WRAP and of Ad Net Zero, the advertising industry’s climate action programme, has been awarded a CBE in King Charles’ New Year Honours for services to Business, and to the Circular Economy.
Munden said, “This is an incredible honour. I’d like to pay tribute to my former colleagues at Unilever for over three decades of developing new products together, without whose inspiring partnership none of this would have been possible. And to my current colleagues at WRAP and Ad Net Zero working with businesses to make the circular economy an everyday reality across many different sectors.
“It’s also recognition for all those in the grocery industry working to create a better packaging system, and for the practical contribution of businesses alongside national and local governments in the way change is implemented.
“It’s a joy to work alongside so many people who want to innovate a better future that’s also better business, with the circular economy growing in value much faster than the economy as a whole.”
