Momina Sumbal,
Sustainability Specialist
I work as a Sustainability Specialist in Liberty’s Office of Sustainability. I am a graduate of the Master of Science in Sustainability Management (MScSM) program at the University of Toronto, and joined Liberty in April, 2020.
Shortly before I began my new role at Liberty, the COVID-19 pandemic worsened and created uncertainty for all of us. I, myself, was nervous about what it would be like to start a brand new role completely remotely. Thankfully, the team at Liberty was patient, accommodating, and incredibly supportive in ensuring that my onboarding was seamless. I’ve been in this role for exactly a year now, and despite never having met the majority of my colleagues in person, I can safely say that my coworkers and the company culture have made it easier to get through the challenging year that was 2020. Not only am I supported by my colleagues to thrive within my role and my team, I have also been able to apply my personal interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion through mentorship opportunities and involvement with employee business resource groups. Knowing that people in the organization are always willing to help and empower their peers is an integral part of why I love working at Liberty.
As a Sustainability Specialist, I work with the Office of Sustainability and other business units to advance Liberty’s sustainability commitments through the development and implementation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) – related programs and initiatives, as well as through meaningful and authentic annual sustainability reporting. My experience in this field has taught me the importance of not only procuring credible ESG data, but also taking meaningful steps to put sustainability in action. It’s clear to me that Liberty recognizes and understands this, and I’m proud to be a part of our journey in sustainability.
