2025 August Alumnus – Duncan van Bergen

Emmanuel Ngbemeneh (College ’22) posted this on his LinkedIn page after hearing from Duncan van Bergen (MBA ’03):

“Markets only work when there’s credibility and trust. …

Whether we’re talking about carbon credits or ESG reporting, the challenge isn’t just measuring outcomes — it’s building frameworks that are transparent, verifiable, and aligned with long-term goals. Without that rigor, markets risk eroding confidence instead of enabling progress.

… whether in finance, strategy, or sustainability, credibility is the foundation of lasting impact.
“

At HCS, we are proud that our incredible alumni, faculty, students and staff work hard every day at creating science-based, independently verifiable research that has, and continues to create, the foundation of lasting impact. We’ve been doing this since 1636.

Come join your fellow alumni in this journey every August.
