Marc Vries

As the CEO of Nexio Projects, I lead an international sustainability consultancy dedicated to embedding sustainability into the core operations of diverse organisations. Our mission is to guide clients through their sustainability journey, from compliance to purpose, while championing diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a gay business leader, I am committed to creating open, inclusive organisations where every individual can authentically be themselves. Our company is proud to be a B Corp-certified organisation, reflecting our commitment to using business as a force for good. We drive carbon emissions reduction, sustainability rankings, certifications, and CSRD compliance through innovative LCA and EPD programs. In addition to my role at Nexio Projects, I am the Founding Partner of Sustainable Capital Group (SCG). At SCG, we specialise in combining sustainable approaches with project financing to turn ambitious sustainability plans into reality together with the EU Taxonomy advisory team. As an investor, I strategically support businesses prioritising financial/environmental and social impact performance. My passion lies in empowering businesses to transition towards a brighter, more inclusive, and greener future. By creating environments that celebrate diversity and drive sustainable change, we can build organizations that are not just successful but truly transformative.
