Camila Gómez Wills is a business and human rights professional with nine years of experience developing and implementing corporate sustainability strategies, ESG reporting frameworks, and responsible sourcing programs. She has worked with private companies, government agencies, and civil society organizations to drive impact in human rights due diligence, supply chain transparency, and sustainability communications.
Camila specializes in helping organizations navigate regulatory requirements while embedding sustainability into core business functions. Passionate about bridging the gap between corporate commitments and real-world impact, she is dedicated to creating ethical, transparent, and sustainable business practices that drive meaningful change.
Question 1: What are the three things people should know about you?
I’m a systems thinker—I love connecting the dots between corporate sustainability, policy, and human rights to create real impact.
I believe that business has a responsibility to act, not just react, when it comes to sustainability and social equity.
I thrive in spaces where complex challenges meet bold solutions, especially when working across companies, communities, and supply chains.
Question 2: What fascinates you about your work?
The fact that no two days look the same. One day, I’m helping a company navigate new ESG regulations, and the next, I’m working with suppliers on the ground to embed ethical practices into their operations. I love translating sustainability commitments into action—whether through corporate disclosures, strategic partnerships, or targeted interventions that make a tangible difference.
Question 3: If there were no limitations, what would you recommend companies do to advance the rights of people in business?
Move beyond compliance and redefine success. Companies should invest in co-governance with workers, implement true living wages across supply chains, and use their influence to push for stronger human rights protections globally. Transparency needs to shift from risk mitigation to empowerment, with real-time, worker-led reporting mechanisms that drive continuous improvement.
Question 4: What is the most pressing question in your field of work right now, and how are you approaching it?
How do we ensure that ESG and human rights commitments actually improve conditions on the ground—rather than just checking a regulatory box? Right now, there’s an explosion of ESG reporting requirements (CSRD, IFRS, CSDDD), but the challenge is making sure they translate into real impact for workers, communities, and ecosystems.
I’m tackling this by helping companies bridge the gap between strategy and implementation—embedding human rights due diligence into procurement, creating meaningful supplier partnerships, and ensuring that data isn’t just collected, but acted upon.
Question 5: What will the world of responsible business look like in 10 years?
We’ll see a massive shift from voluntary commitments to hard requirements. Companies will be expected to prove their impact, not just report on it. Technology and worker-driven data will play a bigger role in accountability, and the companies that succeed will be the ones that integrate sustainability into their core business models—not as a side initiative, but as a driver of long-term value.
