Atlas Copco this week appointed Mala Chakraborti vice president corporate responsibility effective July 1. She replaces Karin Holmquist, who will take over as vice president group internal audit and assurance.
Chakraborti, who is an Indian citizen, began at Atlas Copco in 2012 as corporate responsibility coordinator working with sustainability presentations, training, reporting in accordance to Global Reporting Initiative, as well as with issue management such as conflict minerals. Prior to this she made her master’s thesis for Atlas Copco in 2011 on developing an integrated annual report.
“Mala has the drive, knowledge and communication skills to strengthen Atlas Copco’s solid sustainability work further,” said Annika Berglund, senior vice president corporate communications. “She has a good understanding of the challenges global corporations are facing when doing business in different markets, after having lived and studied on three different continents.”
Chakraborti is fluent in English, Bengali and Hindi and speaks Swedish on an advanced intermediate level.
Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Atlas Copco produces compressors, expanders and air treatment systems, construction and mining equipment, power tools and assembly systems.
