Annemarie Meisling, who heads up Chr. Hansen's sustainability efforts, has been recognised as a Meaningful Business 100 (MB100) Leader by HotTopics.ht, a global business thought leadership platform.

The platform recognises leaders who are combining profit and purpose to help achieve the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The inaugural MB100 leaders were curated through a rigorous nomination process, led by an expert panel of 12 judges. The platform received over 500 peer nominations, from more than 50 countries, with each one scored across four key areas: leadership, innovation, scope and durability.
