Experience

Sustainability and ESG Consultant

Relevant/Notable employerSelf EmployedJanuary 2024 - CurrentAs a Freelance Sustainability and ESG Consultant, I work with businesses across a range of sectors to design and implement ESG strategies, strengthen governance, and align with emerging regulatory requirements such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). My work involves assessing clients’ sustainability performance, identifying material risks and opportunities, and supporting them to embed ESG considerations into their decision-making and operations. I support companies through B Corp certification and recertification, leading on gap analyses, stakeholder engagement, and the development of evidence based improvement plans. I also develop policies and frameworks covering areas such as supplier management, responsible sourcing, and human rights, ensuring consistency with international standards and EU expectations. My experience includes reviewing clients’ disclosures against frameworks such as GRI, SASB, and the S&P Corporate Sustainability Assessment, and helping them prepare for future CSRD aligned reporting. I have a strong focus on practical implementation - helping clients translate sustainability goals into governance processes, KPIs, and internal accountability structures. I’ve worked with both SMEs and larger organisations to refine data management systems, improve reporting quality, and benchmark ESG performance using tools like Nossa Data. My approach combines analytical rigour with a pragmatic understanding of business realities, enabling clients to manage ESG risks and demonstrate meaningful progress toward long term sustainability objectives.

ESG Manager

AvincisJanuary 2023 - January 2024As ESG Manager at Accsys Technologies, I was responsible for leading the company’s environmental, social, and governance strategy and ensuring alignment with evolving sustainability regulations and investor expectations. My role involved coordinating data collection and disclosures across multiple European sites and subsidiaries, including those jointly operated with partners such as Eastman Chemical Company, and ensuring consistency with frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the S&P Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). I oversaw the preparation of annual non-financial reports and support the development of group wide sustainability KPIs, policies, and performance tracking systems. This included integrating ESG considerations into corporate governance, risk management, and supply chain oversight, as well as strengthening internal processes for transparency and accountability. I worked closely with site and functional leads across Operations, HR, and Communications to ensure ESG priorities are embedded across the business. My work also included research and benchmarking of peer and competitor commitments on Net Zero, Science Based Targets, and other sustainability goals to inform Accsys’s own target setting and long term strategy. I have delivered reports on topics such as water stress risk assessment, biodiversity, and responsible sourcing, ensuring our disclosures reflect both regulatory compliance and credible sustainability ambition.

Sustainability Manager

dryrobeMarch 2020 - January 2023As Sustainability Manager at dryrobe, I led the development and implementation of the company’s sustainability strategy, focusing on embedding environmental and social responsibility across operations, supply chains, and product design. I coordinated the company’s B Corp certification process, managing data collection, stakeholder engagement, and evidence documentation to demonstrate impact across governance, workers, community, and environment. My role involved developing supplier engagement tools, updating policies, and strengthening internal governance structures to align with B Corp standards and emerging ESG best practices. I worked closely with leadership to identify key sustainability priorities, set measurable targets, and integrate them into the business strategy. I also supported marketing and communications teams to ensure external messaging around sustainability was accurate, transparent, and aligned with brand values. Through cross-functional collaboration and practical implementation, I helped establish a clear roadmap for continuous improvement in social and environmental performance.

Environmental Consultant

AECOMAugust 2017 - March 2020As an Environmental Consultant at AECOM, I worked on a range of environmental assessment and planning projects across the UK, including Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA), and Equality Impact Assessments (EqIA). I supported both public and private sector clients in assessing and managing the environmental and social effects of major infrastructure, transport, and urban development projects. My responsibilities included coordinating environmental inputs from technical specialists, drafting assessment chapters, and ensuring compliance with UK and EU environmental legislation. I contributed to scoping reports, Environmental Statements, and post-consent monitoring, helping clients secure planning and regulatory approvals. I also engaged with stakeholders and statutory consultees throughout the assessment process, ensuring environmental risks and community impacts were effectively identified and mitigated. This role strengthened my technical understanding of environmental policy, impact assessment methodology, and the integration of sustainability principles into large scale project planning.
