Evelyn Liao

GreenVines
Co-Founder & Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO)

With a bachelor’s degree in Finance and Banking from National Taiwan University, Evelyn has previously served as a global market researcher at multinational fund companies such as UBS and ING.

Inspired by Dr. Bi-Hsia Lin’s contributions to environmental sustainability and organic agriculture, Evelyn aspires to create and promote products or services that genuinely benefit the environment and people. In 2010, she co-founded GREENVINES with the aim of combining innovative products with sustainable advocacy, leading GREENVINES to become the first certified B Corp in Asia to be recognized as a “Best For The World” B Corp for environmental excellence across five consecutive rounds.

Deeply moved by the words of astronomer Carl Sagan, Evelyn believes that “We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers,” driving her commitment to creating more sustainable alternatives in people’s lives.
