Edena Low is sought after for her approach to building sustainable business performance and reputation for companies.  She has deep experience in leading global teams to create and implement business strategies in governance, risk and compliance, environmental and social sustainability, health and safety, as well as public international affairs.

She is co-founder of The AdviXory, a global advisory firm that works with business leaders to solve business and supply chain challenges across the globe through the lenses of sustainable business, risk management, public affairs and human capital.
