Hi, I'm Sophie
I’m an independent sustainability advisor, focused on making sustainability make sense - strategically and commercially.
Here to add value, not complexity
When the sustainability agenda is busy but not adding value to the organisation
Cutting through to what actually matters, setting priorities the business will back, and staying close enough to make sure they happen
Strategy
When sustainability sits with one team but needs to shape decisions across the business
Redesigning how the work gets done - operating model, governance, decision rights, ways of working - and embedding it properly, not just on paper
Transformation
For leaders who are actively building, reshaping or troubleshooting their function
Working alongside you on team design, hiring, external support and the calls that are hard to make from the inside
Exec advisory
When reporting needs to be sharper, more defensible, or built from scratch under new rules
Writing and reviewing climate disclosures, transition plans and sustainability reports that are clear, credible, and hold up to scrutiny
Disclosure
big ideas, real impact

After more than a decade in sustainability working in-house, consulting, and now independently, I’ve found the hardest part isn't knowing what to do. It's making it work inside a real business, with real constraints and real people.
That's the bit I'm good at. I work with sustainability leaders and executive teams when things aren't quite working - when the strategy has stalled, the team isn’t getting traction, or disclosure has taken over. I help diagnose what's going on, decide what’s right for the business, and make it happen.
Australian by background, London-based, working across the UK, Europe and Asia. I tend to work with listed companies and financial institutions, typically in complex, multi-market environments where sustainability has real commercial weight and stakeholder scrutiny.
Want to get beyond the headlines?
Want a clearer view on what's actually happening in sustainability, and what it means for the business? I publish a fortnightly (ish) LinkedIn newsletter, RE: Sustainability. Sustainability in practice - real insights, no corporate waffle.
