The panel will apply their experience across sustainability, technology, public policy, and industrial and financial systems to establish a timely, accurate and verifiable ledger-based carbon emissions accounting system. This system will track product-level emissions across the value chain and support real-world decision-making by companies, standards-setters and policymakers globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first group of experts includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Amy Luers,<\/strong>\u00a0Head of Sustainability Science and Innovation, Microsoft (United States)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Armin Knors,<\/strong>\u00a0Former Head of Engineering and Technology, Bayer (Germany)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benedikt Pl\u00fcmper,<\/strong>\u00a0Head of ESG Portfolio Management CIB, Banco Santander (Spain)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Billy Pizer,<\/strong>\u00a0President and Chief Executive Officer, Resources for the Future (United States)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jakob Stausholm,<\/strong>\u00a0Fellow, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford; Former Chief Executive Officer, Rio Tinto (Denmark)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kate Maher,<\/strong>\u00a0Professor, Stanford University (United States)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Koushik Chatterjee,<\/strong>\u00a0Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, Member of the Board, Tata Steel Limited (India)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rachel Teo,<\/strong>\u00a0Managing Director, Private Family Office (Singapore)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tatsuya \u201cTodd\u201d Hoshino,<\/strong>\u00a0Executive Strategist, Methanol &amp; Ammonia Div.
