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
Practical support across sustainability strategy, transformation, reporting and executive advisory — designed to help sustainability work in the business, not alongside it.
-
When the sustainability agenda is busy, but not adding value: clarifying priorities, aligning to business goals, and building practical plans that gain real traction.
-
When sustainability sits within one team, but needs to shape decisions across the business: rethinking how the work gets done - operating model, governance structures, ways of working - and embedding it properly.
-
For leaders who are actively building, reshaping or troubleshooting their function: working alongside you on team design, hiring, external support and other critical decisions.
-
When reporting needs to be sharter, more defensible or respond to new requirements: helping define practical reporting approaches, alongside drafting and reviewing climate disclosures, transition plans and sustainability reporting outputs.

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?
Need 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.
