Flaherty named One of Top 10 Women in Sustainability.

Pam Flaherty, President and CEO, Citi Foundation, and Director, Corporate Citizenship, Citi, was named to PINK magazine's Top 10 Women in Sustainability List. Flaherty, who has led the Citi Foundation since 2007, also has been an instrumental force in guiding Citi's sustainability strategy. She told the magazine: "At Citi, the way to achieve real change is not necessarily to own the project or initiative yourself, but to make the case for its implementation and to set strong examples for the business to follow."

In her role as Director of Corporate Citizenship at Citi, Flaherty leads Citi's Corporate Sustainability team and acts as senior adviser to the Environmental and Social Risk Management unit, the business tasked with assessing and mitigating the environmental and social impacts of client projects Citi may fund. In 2003, Citi was a co-founder of the Equator Principles, a set of industry guidelines developed to manage the environmental and social risks of project financing globally. In 2010, Citi was elected to chair the Equator Principles Financial Institutions Steering Committee. In 2007, Citi announced a 10-year, $50 billion initiative to combat climate change through financing the renewable energy and clean technology sectors as well as greening its own operations. Citi has directed over $24.3 billion in this effort to date.
