Frank Dixon is an author and consultant specializing in sustainability, system change and enhancing financial performance through increased corporate responsibility. He is also a Senior Advisor to Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, the largest firm in the world analyzing corporate sustainability performance. Formerly, as head of research at Innovest, he oversaw the sustainability analysis of more than 2,000 corporations around the world for six years. Through this experience, he noticed that no company is close to being sustainable (largely because economic and political systems essentially compel firms to act unsustainably by not holding them fully responsible for negative impacts on society).

To address the need for system change and provide the real possibility of achieving sustainability, he developed the Total Corporate Responsibility methodology. TCR is a practical, incremental, profit-enhancing method of driving system change and addressing systemic barriers to sustainability. The approach is used to develop investment products with superior financial and sustainability performance as well as implement advanced corporate sustainability strategies (TCR is being implemented by a subsidiary of one of the largest corporations in the world).

Before Innovest, he worked as a management consultant in the energy and manufacturing sectors. Earlier he worked in the financial area, arranging venture financing for early stage manufacturing companies. He has an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
