Climate and nature pressures are increasingly disrupting supply and operations, regulation is tightening and stakeholders increasingly expect credible data, robust metrics and effective risk management. These issues don't sit in neat boxes - environmental, human rights, regulatory and geopolitical pressures all feed into each other.

I help businesses cut through that complexity to identify what risks and impacts matter most, stay ahead of an evolving regulatory landscape and communicate priorities to their stakeholders.

SERVICES

•       Risk and materiality - Double materiality and risk assessments across climate, nature and human rights.

•       LCA and environmental hotspotting - ISO-aligned life cycle analysis, sized to the decision at hand.

•       Policy navigation and regulatory readiness - Clear guidance on UK, EU and US ESG regulation, from deforestation to due diligence.

Water stress, deforestation and land degradation are no longer distant risks. Nature restoration is central to climate change mitigation and adaption and for food and FMCG sectors in particular, security of supply depends on healthy ecosystems.

I help organisations translate nature-related risks and impacts into clear priorities: aligning approaches with science-based frameworks whilst grounding them in what’s practical, meeting organizations where they are on data maturity and setting a course for continuous improvement and joining nature plans up with climate action.

SERVICES

•       Nature risk and footprinting - Water and biodiversity footprinting at product and business level, along with country, basin and site-level risk and impact assessments across water, biodiversity, land and forests.

•       Nature metrics and target development

•       Nature strategy development - Coherent water and biodiversity strategies across operations and supply chains- including support towards Alliance for Water Stewardship certification- joining plans up with climate strategy.

Agricultural supply chains carry the largest share of sustainability impact for most food and FMCG businesses - while producers face mounting pressure from operational costs to climate change. Real change at farm-level requires credible standards, robust measurement linked to carbon and nature goals and programmes that pair practical guidance with meaningful incentives for producers.

I design sourcing and agriculture approaches that are technically rigorous and built to land with suppliers.

SERVICES

•       Sourcing policy development and farm standards - Grounded in material issues, leading industry standards and the realities of the supply chain and operating environment. I also help businesses and their suppliers with roadmaps to meet environmental standards such as Global Gap Spring, LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) and Alliance for Water Stewardship.

•       Sustainable agriculture MRV frameworks - Measurement, reporting and verification that holds up to assurance and integrates with corporate climate and nature targets.

•       Agriculture strategy and programmes - Co-created with suppliers, built to scale, integrating climate, nature, policy and reflecting commercial reality.

•       In-country due diligence and delivery - I can deliver managed services for ethical and environmental due diligence in priority sourcing regions, leveraging an existing, trusted local expert network - from Spain to Mexico.

In a market crowded with claims and tightening rules on greenwashing, the businesses that stand out are those whose sustainability story is substantive and clearly told. Credibility now depends on aligning what is said with what is measured, reported and verified.

I help organisations translate technical work into communications that build trust with customers, regulators and investors.

SERVICES

•       Sustainability claims and stories - Claim development for products and activities, aligned with latest green claims requirements.

•       Sustainability report writing - Turning activity and performance into a clear and engaging report with a strong narrative, foregrounding the work that matters whilst ensuring compliance to reporting frameworks and claims codes.

•       Sustainability market intelligence - Under-the-bonnet insight into how peers are approaching sustainability, beyond the surface of public reporting.

The most pressing sustainability challenges, from water stress to the regenerative farming transition, sit beyond the boundary of any single business. Progress depends on effective collaboration: shared standards, pooled investment, and forums where real decisions get made.

Drawing on experience participating in industry forums, I bring systems thinking with an action-focused, strategic approach to collaboration.

SERVICES

•       Forum representation and advisory - Representation in collaborative forums to influence agendas and encourage practical action, aligned with business priorities.

•       Multi-stakeholder initiative design and facilitation - Design and facilitation of collaborative initiatives focused on systemic action and practical outcomes.

•       Thought leadership and applied research - Delivery or contribution to industry research that informs and accelerates system change.
