"Bold leadership is leading with the understanding that people and planet have inherent value, and working to establish an equitable and sustainable paradigm that is beneficial to all. I enjoy seeing that reality unfold in the spaces I move through and is what inspires much of my lifelong journey in sustainability."- Jasmine Lomax, Sustainability Manager, PwC, United States & The SustainabilityX® Magazine's Global 50 Women In Sustainability Awards™ 2024 (#SustXGlobal50) Awardee
Jasmine Lomax is a trailblazing sustainability consultant known for her expertise in green building design, construction, and operations. Her journey into environmental advocacy began in childhood, blossoming into a career devoted to creating sustainable, equitable spaces. In her current role, Jasmine has implemented numerous sustainability initiatives that reduce carbon footprints while promoting social impact, ensuring that sustainability benefits both ecosystems and diverse, marginalized communities. Her lived experience as a member of a multi-intersectional demographic enriches her professional contributions, allowing her to approach sustainability through a lens that values inclusion, empathy, and tangible impact.
Outside of her work, Jasmine is a passionate mentor for young women aspiring to careers in sustainability and corporate social responsibility, believing that empowering the next generation is essential for advancing sustainability on a global scale. With a deep love for nature and international travel, she champions community engagement and finds joy in uniting people around shared environmental goals. Jasmine’s commitment to the environment has earned her widespread recognition as a respected voice in sustainability, where she continues to inspire others toward creating a more sustainable future.
To Jasmine, “Embrace Boldness” means showing up as her authentic self, breaking free from conventional limits, and encouraging a culture of experimentation that fosters impactful environmental change. She believes bold leadership within corporate sustainability is vital to shifting societal norms towards a more sustainable future, particularly in industries with a large ecological footprint. Her commitment to being a bold advocate has helped her build inclusive spaces for diverse voices and introduce innovative green practices to the corporate world.
One initiative Jasmine led, focused on incorporating biomimicry in commercial real estate, showcases her bold approach. By integrating green roofs, water features, and natural shading, she transformed urban developments into healthier spaces for occupants and wildlife alike. These features not only minimized ecological impact but created a more harmonious relationship between nature and the built environment, aligning with her belief in sustainable, people-centric design.
Reflecting on the challenges she’s faced, Jasmine highlights her journey to embrace her unique voice in a field that has historically undervalued diverse perspectives. Over time, she has gained confidence in her ideas, many of which were initially considered unconventional but are now celebrated for driving meaningful change in sustainability. Her advice to other women is to remain steadfast in their values, voice their ideas confidently, and cultivate boldness by pushing past discomfort to advocate for transformative solutions.
This award from The SustainabilityX® Magazine Global 50 Women In Sustainability Awards™ 2024 is a profound honour for Jasmine. It not only acknowledges her accomplishments but also amplifies her voice in the sustainability sector. Personally, it reinforces her mission to inspire and lead others, especially women, in the journey toward a sustainable and inclusive world. Professionally, it serves as a platform for expanding PwC’s commitment to environmental stewardship and opens up new opportunities for collaborations and impactful projects on a global scale.

About The SustainabilityX® Magazine
The SustainabilityX® Magazine is an award-winning, digital, female-founded, and female-led non-profit initiative bringing the environment and economy together for a sustainable future through dialogue, and now transforming the environment and economy for a sustainable future through the power of women's leadership. Founded on May 8, 2016, and inspired by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by Canada's Top 30 Under 30 in Sustainability Leadership awardee, Supriya Verma, the digital media initiative focuses on approaching the world's most pressing challenges with a holistic, integrated, systems-based perspective as opposed to the traditional and ineffective siloed approach with a single lens on interdisciplinary topics like climate and energy. This initiative ultimately seeks to explore how to effectively bring the environment and economy together through intellectual, insightful dialogue and thought-provoking discussion amongst individuals across sectors taking an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to untangling the intricate web of sustainability while championing women's leadership in sustainability.
The SustainabilityX® Magazine is built upon the four foundational pillars of sustainability: Environmental Stewardship, which emphasizes the importance of improving environmental health; Economic Prosperity, which promotes sustainable economic growth that transcends traditional capitalist models; Social Inclusion, which focuses on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) for BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other marginalized or vulnerable communities; and Just Governance, which highlights responsible leadership, the equal application of the rule of law, and the creation of fair systems for all.
As we expand our mission to align with the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), we continue to explore the diverse and interconnected factors that influence sustainability. By recognizing how these elements interact across local, national, and international levels, we aim to accelerate progress toward sustainability goals. In essence, this aligns with The SustainabilityX® Magazine's vision of integrating environmental and economic progress for a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future through thoughtful dialogue.
