Zoe Cantor

Senior Director, ESG & Sustainability Advisory Solutions
FTI Consulting

Zoe helps companies turn ESG disclosure from a compliance burden into a strategic asset — at a moment when the regulatory landscape is shifting faster than most organizations can track.

Zoe advises companies on ESG strategy and sustainability reporting at FTI Consulting, where she works with organizations navigating one of the most consequential shifts in corporate disclosure in decades: the move from voluntary to mandatory sustainability reporting across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

Her work spans double materiality assessments, CSRD readiness, climate risk disclosure, and ESG positioning for capital markets — helping companies build reporting programs that are both audit-ready and strategically coherent. She understands that ESG ratings and disclosures don’t just reflect reputation — they direct capital flows, and managing that reality proactively is increasingly a competitive necessity.

Her background is unusually well-rounded for this work. Before moving into sustainability, she spent three years in transfer pricing at PwC — building financial modeling and multinational tax advisory skills that directly inform how she thinks about the economics of sustainability commitments. She holds an MBA from NYU Stern, where she was an Advancing Women in Business full-tuition merit scholar, and was an Environmental Defense Fund Climate Corps Fellow.

What I’d love to discuss during the event

  • CSRD Wave 2 deadlines are closer than many companies realize, and double materiality assessments need to be completed well before reporting begins. How prepared are organizations, and what’s holding the rest back?
  • ESG ratings are increasingly influencing capital allocation decisions, but the methodologies behind them remain opaque and constantly evolving. How should companies proactively manage their ESG positioning rather than simply react to rating changes?
  • AI is starting to reshape sustainability reporting and disclosures. What does responsible use actually look like, and where does it create more risk than it resolves?
