Why I work for Seismic:

I am motivated to help our clients transition to a more sustainable and responsible way of operating, driving systemic change for both their own business and the industry within which they sit. This, combined with being surrounded by like-minded colleagues who are ambitious, curious and kind, is exactly why I work here. Seismic is a fast-paced and versatile organisation focusing on real impact every day, ensuring sustainability makes commercial sense for all our clients.

My experience:

I have over a decade of experience in sustainability consultancy and am well versed in supporting companies of all sizes through the sustainability landscape. I support organisations on the road to Net Zero through carbon footprinting, developing strategies, setting net zero and SBTi targets, building decarbonisation roadmaps, and responding to many different reporting frameworks, both mandatory and voluntary. Whilst I have worked with clients in all industries, my expertise sits in the Products industry.

Some companies I’ve worked with:

Aldi, Kennedys, Encirc & Vidrala, Channel 4, Jupiter Asset Management, Edelman, BT, Village Hotels, Specsavers, M&G, Ella’s Kitchen.

A seismic change I’d like to see in the future:

I’d like to see a shift from companies not just setting targets and commitments, but to transparently report on progress against them, as well as having robust and credible plans in place to achieve them. Sizable change would mean our future generations do not have to worry about finding the solution to the climate crisis.

Where I like to be:

Being with my family in the outdoors. Nothing makes me happier than being in nature, be it hiking in the Lake District to pub walks in the Surrey Hills. I also wouldn’t say no to a relaxed day in and around home, and love rating the coffee from all my local coffee spots!
