Lauren Branston has been selected as the Institute of Business Ethics’ (IBE) next CEO, with a core objective of delivering positive change on social and environmental issues. Branston joins IBE from consultancy LB&CO, where she spent almost 11 years – also as CEO. She has also spent time at The Coca-Cola Company, Grant Thornton, Pfizer, and Starbucks, where she helped drive change in strategy, culture, sustainability and communications to improve social and environmental outcomes. Branston’s appointment will come into effect this September, when she will take over from Ian Peters, who led the IBE for over four years. “We are excited to welcome Lauren as our new CEO. She brings the leadership and corporate experience that the institute needs,” said David Grayson, Chair of the IBE. “Her deep understanding of sustainability, business ethics, corporate affairs and advocacy, alongside extensive senior leadership and partnership building experience, will be critical as we expand our impact and influence.”
