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.
