Chief ESG Officer
Gestamp
Ernesto Barceló Rodríguez's professional career has a strong focus on Sustainability, Health & Safety,
Regulatory Affairs and Quality, among others. His experience includes managing the coexistence of
linear and circular economies, while transitioning to a new low emissions system.
With a degree in Industrial Engineering (Textile Chemistry) from the Polytechnic University of
Catalonia (UPC), a Master's in Industrial Quality Management (UPC-EFQM) and a PDD in Executive
Education from IESE Business School, Barceló began his career in 1995 as Head of Quality Assurance
in Nubiola (formerly Colores Hispania). Subsequently, he joined Omya in 1997, first as Director of
Quality, Environment and Safety in the Spanish division of the Swiss company, which later led him to
different global positions such as Marketing Director, Commercial Director, Head of Regulatory Affairs
and Group Vice President Sustainability.
In this time, he was responsible for many of the ESG achievements as part of Omya's sustainability
strategy. For example, more than 150 certified production sites for quality, health and safety and the
environment. 17 certified ISO standards in a cluster approach for selected sites (including the first ISO
22000 for France with AFNOR). In addition to this, he was also the global Data Protection Officer in
accordance with EU GDPR and other related regulations. Barceló also actively participates in ESG
academic research in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems of the Aalto School of Chemical
Engineering (Finland).
In addition, Mr. Barceló was recently appointed president of the responsible business committee of
Sernauto, the Spanish Association of Automotive Suppliers.
