The Write Impact | Helping organisations drive sustainable change Available for work
Are you looking for a writer to help you navigate the ever changing world of sustainability communications? I have 15 years of experience in the field, in particular:
🌿 Helping businesses demonstrate honest and measurable impacts through ESG / sustainability reporting.
🌎 Helping non-profit and mission-led organisations tell their inspiring stories of change for nature and society.
💡 Helping sustainability standard setters, certification programmes, and benchmarking organisations communicate their insights and guidance to drive corporate transparency.
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!
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 sustainability reports for organisations spanning sectors such as food and beverage, manufacturing, renewable energy and housing, technology, and financial services.
On the non-profit side of things, I’ve worked with The World Benchmarking Alliance, Global Child Forum, Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, the Value Chain Initiative and SustainCERT, Fair Wear Foundation, and Access to Medicine Foundation.
