WHO IS BEHIND ECOHAKUSHO?
I’m Andrés Bassaber Zúñiga, a compassionate and critical thinker with a mission to be a sustainability change agent in a world struggling with the consequences of harmful development paradigms. I believe there are various paths to contribute in the fight against climate change and improve our relationship with the planet. On a personal level, I view sustainability as an exciting paradigm shift, a holistic approach to achieving «new sustainable development.» Professionally, I see sustainability as a promising path to drive positive change within organizations striving for environmental, social, and economic improvements. This is why I’ve chosen sustainability as my career.
Given the amplitude of sustainability, professionals in this field need to specialize while also maintaining a well-rounded understanding, as effective environmental management requires a systemic and integrated perspective. Throughout my professional journey, I’ve explored various topics and tools, acquiring a well-rounded foundation necessary for a sustainability professional. Along the way, I’ve developed expertise in specific areas and tools, including greenhouse gas emissions, sustainability criteria and indicators, carbon and water footprint analysis, life cycle assessment, environmental education, and more.
To complement my knowledge, I’ve delved into the realm of data analytics, which I’ve been actively honing since 2022. The intersection of data and sustainability has given rise to an exciting field known as «sustainability analytics,» and my primary goal is to become a proficient professional and agent of change within this domain.
