“Mark adds indisputable experience, skills and reputation to our thinking,” Edge Environment chair and co-founder Tom Davies said.
“He understands infrastructure and investment businesses and has a proven track record in helping them on-board the principles of sustainability. We couldn’t be happier to have him on our side.”
Mr Rogers said Edge was pushing the boundary on sustainability.
“I am looking forward to working with Edge on their board to explore where their business can grow and to help push their innovative thinking and results driven culture.” he said.
