Hi, I’m Tamsin

I am a passionate climate change activist hence my passion in working in the field of sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social Governance). I have previously worked for a university body, a local authority, a multinational engineering company,  an outdoor apparel brand and a modified timber company.

Throughout my career and experiences to date, I have successfully refined and implemented sustainability strategies, ensuring alignment with business needs and objectives. I possess expertise in designing and implementing sustainability roadmaps, establishing KPIs, and managing projects effectively.

About me

My educational background includes a Master’s degree in Environmental Science and a demonstrated commitment to sustainability research, with my research project on inducing lower carbon dietary change being published in a scientific journal.

After university, I spent three years working for AECOM, a multinational engineering company, as an Environmental Consultant where my work focused on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and EqIA (Equality Impact Assessment). I worked on projects of a varying size including national power plants, neighborhood plans, local implementation plans to assist with national and local planning. The experiences gained in this role through different types of environmental and social assessment were extremely valuable and supported me in my next career move to work in house for dryrobe®.

I developed a fresh sustainability strategy for dryrobe® and followed the B Impact Assessment framework in order to coincide with achieving B Corp certification. I oversaw this project certification as well as the charity partnerships with environmental and social organisations. One of my proudest achievements was scoring 110 points on the B Impact Assessment making the brand the highest scoring B Corp in the county at the time. I thoroughly enjoyed working with wider teams within the organisation to successfully provide supporting evidence and highlight areas where the company could improve across the five areas of governance, the environment, community, workers and customers. I engaged with internal and external stakeholders through materiality assessments to ensure the most important sustainability topics were focused on in the wider strategy. I also improved the brands relationship with suppliers to ensure that the supply chain was as transparent as possible and to identify any areas where carbon reduction could take place. After three years, I then worked for Accsys, a publicly listed modified timber company, to focus more heavily on ESG strategy. This involved cross-function engagement with senior leadership, improving the data collection process for carbon accounting and reporting to various sustainability reporting and investor frameworks (GRI, SASB, TCFD, S&P CSA). Additionally, I gained experience working in other production certifications which included C2C gold, Declare and Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
