Jean Rogers Biography

Dr. Jean Rogers is a leader in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy and is known as the founder of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. The concept for the board was developed during research at Harvard University's Initiative for Responsible Investment in the Kennedy School of Government. Under Rogers' leadership, the organization evolved from a self-funded start-up into an ANSI-accredited, independent standards-setting body. The board was established to develop industry-specific ESG disclosure standards, enabling investors to assess the materiality of sustainability information and compare companies globally.

Rogers served as CEO for six years and later as chair of the board. During her tenure, the organization developed provisional standards for 79 industries with input from 3,000 stakeholders, raised more than $25 million for research and standards development, launched an education program in sustainability accounting, and convened an Investor Advisory Group representing more than $33 trillion in assets under management. The board also introduced the Fundamentals of Sustainability Accounting credential, published annual quantitative analyses of sustainability disclosure in SEC filings, and collaborated with Fordham University to advance sustainability accounting through education and research.

Before founding the board, Rogers worked in sustainable development across the United States, Europe, and China at Arup, an engineering consultancy specializing in low-carbon infrastructure and green buildings, and at Deloitte, where she contributed to environmental projects in the manufacturing sector. Rogers holds a doctorate in environmental engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology and earned both her bachelor's and master's degrees in civil and environmental engineering from Manhattan College. She is also a former Loeb Fellow at Harvard University.

Rogers served as Blackstone's senior managing director and ESG chairperson, overseeing the integration of sustainability factors into asset management and serving on investment committees for private equity and private credit funds focused on energy transition and climate solutions. She currently serves as an independent board member and advisor to investors and entrepreneurs, including on the board of the Jane Goodall Institute, as an advisory board member at Terra Alpha Investments, and as an operating advisor to private equity funds such as Pegasus and Palistar Capital.

Rogers is a Society of Progress Medal laureate recognized by INSEAD for her work in founding the board, a Sustainable Hero by GreenTech Capital, and has been named one of the Most Powerful Women in Accounting by CPA Practice Advisor. She has also been recognized by Barron's as one of the Top 20 Influencers of Sustainable Investing and listed among the Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting by Accounting Today. Her career highlights the role of market-based solutions in advancing sustainable development and positions her as a leading voice on ESG strategy, capital markets, and the energy transition.
