Gaya Herrington

Vice President Sustainability Research, Schneider Electric

The growth paradigm is reaching its limits – for the planet and for business. Climate risks, resource scarcity, and social tensions are challenging market stability and long-term profitability. So how can we build economic resilience while staying within environmental and social boundaries?

Gaya Herrington explores the interplay between environmental, social, economic, and behavioural dynamics. As Vice President of Sustainability Research at Schneider Electric – recently named the world’s most sustainable company – she develops strategies for global transformation that align with planetary limits.

At EEF 2025, Herrington will outline how prosperity can be redefined.

She will highlight the systemic shifts required and the strategic opportunities that lie in building a resilient, sustainable global economy.

A leading voice for transformative change, Gaya Herrington holds degrees in econometrics (Amsterdam) and sustainability (Harvard). She has worked for KPMG and the Dutch government and now shapes the global debate as a Club of Rome member and TED speaker, with appearances at the UN, WBCSD, and universities such as Cambridge and UCLA.
