About Colin Snoeker
Bachelor : Biology
Master : Science and Business Management 
Currently: ESG Assurance & Reporting at EY I Senior Staff Climate Change and Sustainability Services

Although I really enjoyed my Bachelor's degree in Biology and Master's degree in Science and Business Management, I realized that I was looking for a diverse environment where I could get to know different organizations in a short period of time. I started at EY within the Financial Audit, where we audit the organizations’ financial statements. After 2 years, I made the switch to the Climate change and sustainability department where I assure the sustainability information which organization publish within their annual reports.
