I
started on my green career path in 1986, working
with John Elkington - we
co-founded SustainAbility Ltd, a think
tank consultancy that now has offices in London, Washington and Zurich, as well as operatons in
India. I have authored or co-authored nine books, including the number-one
best-selling Green Consumer Guide,
published 20 years ago and selling over 1 million copies worldwide. My most recent
book The New Green Consumer Guide, came out in 2007 and has been widely acclaimed to be accessible, authorative
and 'full of surprises'!
My main
work is as a sustainability consultant to industry. Current or recent clients include Marks
& Spencer, Morrisons, McDonalds, Shell, Numis Investment Bank and Procter & Gamble. I
also regularly make speeches and presentations, write articles - and
a blog - have been a director of Jupiter Global Green Investment Trust, co-founded Haller, a charity supporting eco-system projects, sit on the
Food Ethics Council and am a Trustee of the Ecos Trust, which promotes green building
practice.
In 1989 I was elected to the UN `Global 500 Roll of Honour’ for ‘outstanding environmental
achievements' and in 1999 was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours List. I live in Somerset with
my three sons Connor, Rollo and Monty, aged 15, 13 and11.
