Permasteelisa Group Creates New Role as Anna Foden joins as Head Of Sustainability
23 Oct 2024

Leading international façade specialist Permasteelisa Group has appointed Anna Foden as its first ever Head of Sustainability.

 

With more than twenty years’ experience in the sector across construction and consultancy, spanning the USA, UK, Europe, and the Middle East, the University of Maryland graduate has taken up the position after leaving a similar role at ISG.

 

As the Head of Sustainability, she will report directly to Group Innovation Director Kim Palmen-Koop, leading the company’s drive towards a net zero future.

 

With a wealth of experience focused on strategy and implementation around carbon reduction, the circular economy, biodiversity and supply chain sustainability – Anna’s expertise, together with her construction background, makes her the ideal candidate to take up this newly created role.

 

Permasteelisa Group’s Chief Technical Innovation Officer, Jalal Fitoury, comments: “We are delighted that Anna has agreed to take up this new role. She is an experienced senior sustainability professional with a background in construction and an excellent level of familiarity for the built environment ecosystem. We are excited to have her on the team and look forward to working with her on what is a crucial next step for Permasteelisa Group.”

 

Anna comments: “Having worked in the built environment my entire career, I understand the key sustainability drivers and nuances across the value chain. I’m looking forward to getting started in this challenging new role.

 

“I had the pleasure of working with Permasteelisa North America early in my construction career. I now look forward to working with the Group as we head towards a net-zero future.

 

“I’m impressed with the existing innovation, and crucially, the drive at Permasteelisa Group, to showcase the value the company brings around sustainability from design, manufacture, through to construction and aftercare in everything from whole-life carbon reductions, circularity, responsible sourcing, and beyond.

 

Having started out her career as a professional figure skater, Anna began her rise in the construction industry at the Clark Construction Group in 2004 that lead to her role as Regional Green Coordinator.

 

After a year at the US Green Building Council NCR Chapter in 2010, she joined Max Fordham as Sustainability Assessor in 2012 before joining ISG in 2019, where she started as Senior Sustainability Manager before becoming its Head of Sustainability for their fitout, retail, and data centre business units.
