"Julia has an infectious personality which makes her a mesmerising speaker ... if only we could bottle her charisma"  Triffid (May09)

My many green hats principally involve environmental consultancy, speeches and writing.  I started in 1986 and since then have authored or co-authored nine books, co-founded a consultancy - SustainAbility Ltd (1987) and a charity - Haller (2002).  I've also sat on the board of a number of organisations, including Jupiter Global Green Investment Trust, the UK Eco-Labelling Board and Ecos Trust and am currently a member of the Food Ethics Council and Waste Watch, as well as advisory boards for Ecotricity,  M&S packaging and P&G Cleaning Products & Baby care.  My most long-standing clients include Procter and Gamble and Marks & Spencer.  In 1992 I got a UN Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement and in 1999 an MBE.
