Linkedin Global Sustainability Director quits after 7 months over 'values'
“Real sustainability isn’t a marketing campaign or a compliance checkbox."
Melanie Larkins, who was named Global Director of Environmental Sustainability at Linkedin in August 2024, has announced her departure from the social network – a move she found “necessary for the values that drive me”.
In a Linkedin post explaining her reasons for quitting, Larkins said it took “much reflection” – then presented a number of ways “too many companies” continue to approach sustainability in a superficial manner.
