Paul Hohnen Sustainability Strategies

Facilitation

In his facilitation, Hohnen brings to bear a deep policy and stakeholder background, decades of experience in organizing effective meetings, and a ‘hard talk’ interview style. Among other events, he has facilitated and/or chaired:

• The annual UNEP business and industry conferences (2005, 2006, 2007)
• The annual Chatham House CSR conference (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008)
• The annual EU Presidency CSR conference (2005, 2006)

Facilitating UNEP High Level Panel on Industry and Sustainable Development, New York, May 2006

“Reflecting his diplomatic and multi-stakeholder experience, Hohnen is a highly accomplished moderator, able to extract the best out of panelist and audience alike — both of which I have had the pleasure of being”. Dr. Matthew Kiernan, Chief Executive, Innovest Strategic Value Advisors

“Paul Hohnen has been a great facilitator of OECD Watch's conferences. Judging from participant feedback, Paul was again rated as one of the highlights of this year's event. In particular, his ability to perfectly summarize the discussions into a witty limerick was met with great enthusiasm.”
