The Write Impact | Helping organisations drive sustainable change Available for work

Are you looking for a writer to help you navigate the nuances of sustainability communications? My experience in the field spans more than 15 years and spans three core pillars:

• Helping businesses demonstrate honest and measurable impacts through ESG reporting and sustainability-driven communications.

• Driving greater corporate transparency by helping sustainability standard setters, certification programmes, and global benchmarks communicate their insights and guidance.

• Helping non-profit organisations educate and elicit positive change where it’s needed most in nature and in society.

I combine my passion for writing with my unwavering belief that while it takes a collaborative effort from all to drive change, businesses have the real power and influence to spark the societal and environmental transformations needed for a more equitable world.

I work with a broad range of commercial organisations and non-profits in the field of sustainable development: NGOs driving tangible change on the ground, non-profits pushing for greater corporate accountability and transparency, and businesses that are serious about managing their environmental and social impacts.

Having worked with the global sustainability standard setter, GRI, I understand the impact of transparent, consistent, and comparable reporting in driving change. I’ve written numerous sustainability and ESG reports for organisations spanning sectors including food and beverage, manufacturing, renewable energy and housing development, technology, and financial services.

On the non-profit side of things, I’ve worked with The World Benchmarking Alliance, Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, the Value Chain Initiative and SustainCERT, Fair Wear Foundation, and Access to Medicine Foundation.

Whether you're looking for fresh copy for your website, detailed sustainability or ESG impact reports, exploratory white papers, or quick-read blog content across the spectrum of environmental and social topics, I'm here to help!
