Sustainability Experts - Opinion & Commentary

Some personal news: this week marks my last with IR Impact, after three years as editor and many more in other capacities. I first joined (what was then called) IR Magazine in 2013 as a research reporter, whipped into shape by my first bosses Janet, Tim and Lloyd, helped by them alongside Garnet and Candice into becoming an actual journalist. Back then, we were excited by things like 'big data' and shareholder activism organised on Twitter. How things have changed... It has been an utter privilege to have time with IROs from every jurisdiction and industry, learning what makes their companies tick and how they keep their investors happy (or as minimally unhappy as possible). There are too many of you to thank, but if you've ever as much as replied to one of my email requests for an interview or a podcast feature: an enormous thank you. I won't be going far away: my next role will be working at Trellis Group to build out their opinion desk. If you have strong views about anything in the sustainability world, drop me a line... Until then, hasta luego!

Mexico PRs - Sustainability & Wildlife & Human Rights & Travel

🇲🇽 Some news and a PR #journorequest: I will be reporting from Mexico from January till around June, which means I'll be on the look out for stories. 🇲🇽 In the past two years I've reported on wildlife electrocutions in Costa Rica,communities pushing through a climate resilience agendaonthe slopes of settlements in Medellín, former coca growers in eastern Colombia who have transitioned into a different crop, hiked Mexico's only long-distance walking trail, and covered how Jalisco, the Mexican state which then reported the most forced disappearances, was using different innovations to find missing people. I am likely to be based in Mexico City but I will also be roaming around for stories and might potentially cross into neighbouring countries so feel free to pitch me even if the story is a 24-hour bus ride or two away (I will be minimising flights for environmental reasons). PRs: I am looking for sustainability, wildlife, environmental, human rights and travel stories. Some of the above stories have come directly from PRs so there's a huge opportunity here for PRs to pitch me. The above stories will give you an inkling as to what I’m looking for, as will my portfolio, which I'll link to below. My email can be found on my website.

Liverpool Retailers & Sustainability Experts - Circular Retail Scene

Loads of things going on in my working world at the moment, events and content etc, but here's a little snapshot of some of the circular-thinking/planet-conscious retail businesses I spotted on a recent trip to #Liverpool. I've always loved the city and what it has to offer (up the Reds 🔴) but I'm considering a bit of a deepdive into the city's retail scene and its focus on sustainability. Drop me a line if you've got a contribution or some ideas of things to explore. Here are a few things I do know, for starters. For the last two years, Liverpool ONE has had a Mobile Segregation Unit (MSU), courtesy of The Green Block which aims to boost recycling rates at the shopping and leisure hub. The aim of the MSU deployment was to sort waste into 15 individual waste streams, making it easier to recycle more material. There's a digital waste tracking element to it all too. Didn't get to see that myself last week but, in terms of other sustainability/circularity plays, I did visit the colourful LUSH flagship in Church St, complete with its well marketed Bring it Back packaging recycling concept and mandate of "leaving the world lusher than we found it". It's the biggest Lush store in the world to boot. Sostrene Grene opened its doors in Liverpool's Bold St in October 2023, and continues to highlight strong environmental welfare credentials via in-store messaging and customer communication. Just along the way, there's also Resurrection Bold St Liverpool, a long-time go-to place for multiple partner fashion brands as well as a host of vintage, preloved, and upcycled gear. Bold Street is also home to one of only two Shared Earth UK Limited stores in the UK (the other one and original site is in York). Its roots are steeped in ethical trading and addressing social and environmental issues, and it was good to see the hustle and bustle inside. The site started offering customers the option to refill their own packaging (with shampoo, washing-up liquid etc) long before it became more widely popular for retailers to do so.

Dubai Restaurant Operators - Embed Sustainability In Business

When Omar Shihab came to me with his plan for this piece, I knew it was going to make some noise. Here was someone who'd spent years pushing Dubai’s restaurant industry to take sustainability seriously, championing local produce and helping BOCA earn a Michelin Green Star, saying it was time to rethink it all... Talk about a head turner. Omar could talk about this all day, and I felt privileged that he trusted me to help bring it to Caterer Middle East. It’s also exactly why I came back to Caterer: to be involved in journalism that moves the conversation on and gets people talking about important issues in our industry. How do we make sustainability part of the way businesses are built and run, rather than a buzzword or another box to tick? How does it become part of everyday commercial decisions? There’s plenty more to explore here. I’ll be working on more pieces around this, and will be reaching out to everyone in the industry with something to say on the subject - and hearing more from Omar, no doubt. Read the full piece here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dqTYGgXY

If you represent an MSME, financial institution, or technology vendor that fits these parameters—or know an enterprise that should be featured—please drop a comment below #MSME #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #ClimateFinance #RenewableEnergy #IndustrialSustainability

Blue Finance Project Staff - Anonymous Failed Funding Case Studies

The usual explanation for a failed blue finance project is a lack of capital. What I want to know is why it couldn’t raise more money. I’ve said before that we need to know more about the failures in ocean finance. If I were building the record, it would be a catalog of failed case studies, anonymized and easy to look through by instrument and by geography. The people who worked on each project would contribute to it. What gets recorded is the timeline, the runway, the specifics of the project and the reason it didn’t work. Then I’d feed all of it into AI to see whether there’s a pattern. There’s so much to learn from failed deals and failed projects. Two things make it hard. The first is stigma. People don’t want to talk about failure, and when it happens, they want to turn the page. Sitting down to say “this is what happened and this is why it failed” takes another layer of self-awareness. The second is being honest about the cause. Sometimes it’s obvious. Such as, we didn’t have enough customers. But often it isn’t and you can blame a gazillion things, none of which may be the real reason. Failures in ocean finance also remind me of something I learned from Prof. Leith Sharp when I studied Sustainability Leadership at Harvard University. She calls it the "Squiggle" - the messy, non-linear part between the start of a project and the clean story we tell about it afterwards. Projects rarely fail in one neat moment. They change direction, hit constraints, lose momentum, adapt and sometimes stop. If we only record the beginning and the outcome, we lose the part that may teach us the most. Having the big picture would be a very useful step. If you’ve worked on a project that didn’t make it and you’d be willing to record it anonymously, I’d like to hear from you.

Berlin Travel Experts - Sustainability & Tech-for-Good Features

Three years after my last trip, I've decided to once again take an eight-hour train ride from Amsterdam to return to one of my favourite cities...Berlin. #journorequest: I'll be there in early November and will be looking for several travel/sustainability/tech-for-good stories during my trip there. Feature pitches work best for me rather than news or profile pieces. Look at my portfolio + DM me a story idea. Whilst there I'm also running my How to Secure Media Coverage half-day workshop, holding it once again at my talented pals Kerstin Bock's and Carolin Lessoued's Openers office. If you want insider knowledge on how to build stronger relationships with journalists and create pitches that hacks are more likely to say yes to, do come along on November 5. (There's also sessions coming up in Brussels, Amsterdam, Cheltenham, Zoom and London.) I'm also looking for a sublet or petsit in/around Neukolln, where I first stayed in 2015 on my first nomadic stint abroad (picture of me below standing next to the Berlin Wall on said trip).

Women in STEM - Onstage Representation in Water Tech

What will it take to see more women at the table - and on the stage - when we talk about water and other technical issues? I had the opportunity to attend the Rice WaTER Institute Water Nexus Conference in Houston today. Thank you to James Rees and everyone involved in bringing together researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and innovators to address some of the most pressing challenges facing our water future. I left with a lot to think about. It also left me with an observation. Of the 24 speakers, only 6 were women - 25%. As a female scientist, representation matters to me. When I began my career, women represented only a small share of chemistry graduates. Today, women make up more than half of chemistry bachelor's degree recipients. That is real progress. But getting more women into STEM is only part of the equation. Are we also getting women into the rooms where technical issues are discussed, decisions are made, and the future is shaped? I spoke with Lauren M Barnum, a panelist and environmental scientist like me, and shared my observation about the conference, along with my personal experience of encountering relatively few women in scientific leadership during my career. Lauren noted that things are getting better in STEM - and I agree. Another female colleague pointed out that the number of women in sustainability is increasing, which is encouraging. But I keep coming back to a question that is also at the heart of my upcoming book, Choosing Us: 45 Years of Insight on Smart Decisions That Drive Environmental Stewardship. What will it take to get more women into scientific leadership and decision-making roles? Women are deeply engaged in environmental issues. Yet we remain underrepresented in many of the technical conversations and leadership roles that shape decisions about our environment. The water challenges discussed at this conference - scarcity, infrastructure, treatment, reuse, the energy-water nexus, emerging technologies, and resilience - will affect all of us. We need the best minds and the broadest range of perspectives contributing to those conversations. This isn't about taking a place away from anyone. It's about making sure the people who have the knowledge, experience, and perspectives to contribute are actually being invited to the conversation. For me, Choosing Us is ultimately about the decisions we make and who gets to make them. So my burning question remains: What will it take to see more women speaking on technical topics like water, and more women in scientific leadership and decision-making roles? I'd genuinely like to hear from women and men in STEM, water, sustainability, academia, industry, and leadership: What do you think needs to change? #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #WomenInLeadership #Water #Sustainability #EnvironmentalScience #STEMLeadership #ChoosingUs

Groningen Data Center Operators & Water Managers - Water-Smart Growth

🌍 GRONINGEN 2030–2040: THE AI BOOM vs. THE FRESHWATER CLOCK What happens when a region becomes increasingly important for AI, data centers, renewable energy, hydrogen and industry — while freshwater becomes a more strategic resource? I started looking at this question from a simple perspective: Follow the water. Where does it come from? Who uses it? How much could large digital infrastructure require? What happens during drought? And can Groningen grow digitally without increasing pressure on freshwater? I turned the investigation into a 13-poster visual atlas covering: 🔹 Groningen’s emerging digital infrastructure 🔹 Eemshaven, Winschoten and Westpoort 🔹 Industrial water and North Water 🔹 Data-center cooling technologies 🔹 Illustrative water demand for a 100 MW IT campus 🔹 Drought and groundwater pressure 🔹 Industry, hydrogen, agriculture, nature and households 🔹 Circular water opportunities 🔹 Three possible Groningen futures toward 2040 🔹 A proposed Groningen Water Standard 🔹 Sources, methodology and limitations One important distinction emerged: The question isn’t simply “Do data centers use water?” The better question is: What water source + what cooling technology + what location + what season + what competing demand? That changes the discussion completely. Some numbers in the investigation are verified public data. Others are clearly identified as engineering calculations, scenarios or proposals — not forecasts or claims about individual facilities. My proposal is simple: Don’t stop digital growth. Make digital growth water-smart. That means prioritising industrial/reclaimed water where appropriate, efficient cooling, drought resilience, groundwater protection, water transparency, heat recovery and genuine circular-water systems. The future of Groningen doesn’t have to be digital growth OR environmental responsibility. It can be both. What would you add to the Groningen Water Standard? 👇 I would especially like to hear perspectives from people working in data centers, water management, energy, hydrogen, agriculture, nature, infrastructure and local planning. #Groningen #DataCenters #AI #WaterSecurity #Freshwater #Sustainability #Energy #Eemshaven #Hydrogen #CircularEconomy #Netherlands #DigitalInfrastructure

Indian Beauty Brands - Sustainability Mechanisms & Verifiable Claims

Calling for story inputs - Indian beauty and personal care brands for the upcoming French Press Global issue. I'm working on a piece about sustainability in Indian beauty, and I'm looking for brands doing it through a specific, working mechanism rather than a label. What I'm interested in: 1. Take-back and refill systems, including how many empties actually come back 2. Third-party certification: B Corp, WFTO fair trade, COSMOS/Ecocert/BDIH, FSC- with scope and certificate details 3. Packaging innovation, recycled content, mono-material or genuinely compostable formats 4. Supply chain work: fair-traded inputs, producer companies, direct farm or artisan sourcing 5. Upcycled or waste-derived ingredients 6. EPR compliance and what the brand is doing beyond the statutory minimum One request: please send documentation alongside the claim. A certificate number, a registry link, an audited figure, a stated baseline and methodology. The story is built around what a reader can independently verify, so unsupported numbers won't make it in and that's the point of the piece, not a hurdle I'm putting up. Brands of any size welcome. Small and unfunded is completely fine; a working mechanism matters more than scale. Drop a comment or write to me at [email redacted] . Inputs by 10th September.

Bartenders & Bar Managers - Batch Cocktails, Craft & Guest Experience

STRAIGHT-UP | The Cocktail Paradox Is every bar trying to become a “Best Bar” these days? The latest edition of STRAIGHT-UP, my monthly column in WSCI Magazine, looks at how cocktail culture is evolving—and at what we might be losing along the way. Three observations from the column stayed with me: The “Best Bars” race: In larger metros, most bars are either vying for a spot on a specific “Best Bars” list or already flaunting one, sometimes making spaces and experiences feel like replicas of one another. The Mojito anecdote: A friend who once persistently asked for a little more rum in her Mojito because it never felt potent enough now happily drinks pre-batched cocktails. And then there is “simple syrup”. An industry pioneer once confessed: “I miss the joy of seeing a bartender make me a fresh cocktail from scratch — the muddling of mint, cutting a garnish to perfection and squeezing a fresh lime to add that touch of sourness to the drink.” She also detested the phrase “simple syrup.” Which made me wonder: what would she say about “saline solution” today? This isn't a rant against technology or innovation. In fact, the column acknowledges the value of consistency, sustainability and efficiency. It is simply a question about what we do with the time technology gives back—and whether we use it to create a better guest experience. Because: “What makes a cocktail memorable may have very little to do with how complicated it is.” STRAIGHT-UP appears every month in WSCI Magazine. I'd love to hear from those working in hospitality, drinks and beyond: What makes an experience memorable today—the product, the craft, or the human connection around it? #StraightUp #WSCIMagazine #DrinksAndDestinations #Hospitality #BarCulture #CocktailCulture #Bartending #DrinksIndustry #GuestExperience #Rojitatiwari #CraftAndInnovation

UK Journalists - Vape Battery Disposal & Recycling

I was wondering if my network might be able to help with something we’re working on. We’re working with a client looking into the environmental impact of vapes, particularly what happens to them and their batteries once they’ve been used. We’ve just surveyed 1,000 people across the UK to understand how people dispose of their vapes, what they think about recycling them, and whether they see vape waste as an issue. Some of the findings raise a bigger question: are people actually being given enough information and opportunity to dispose of these devices properly? So, we’re now digging a little deeper into the story and would really like to hear from people who see this issue first-hand, whether you’re a journalist, work in local government, or work in waste management or recycling. Journalists: Are you covering waste, recycling, sustainability, consumer behaviour, batteries or the environmental impact of vaping? We’d be very happy to share our data and chat about the story. If there’s an angle you think we’re missing, we’d be really interested to hear it. Councillors and council teams: What are you seeing in your area? Is it easy for residents to know where a used vape should go? Are vapes still turning up in household bins or recycling? We can share our data on what people believe and would be interested to see whether that matches what you’re seeing locally. Waste and recycling professionals: What do you think people misunderstand about disposing of vapes and their batteries? And what are you seeing on the ground? We’re building this into a wider story and would love to include local examples, expert perspectives, useful stats or experiences from the people dealing with this day to day. If you’ve got something to add, even if it’s a completely different take, I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment below or send me a DM. #VapeWaste #Recycling #Sustainability #WasteManagement

Clinical Research Sites - Delayed Payments Impacting Operations

Clinical research sites are expected to enroll quickly, enter clean data, respond to queries, retain staff, support patients, and keep studies moving. But what happens when they are not paid for months, or even years? I once waited more than 2½ years for payment on a study where we randomized over 80 patients. The most shocking part? Once we said we could no longer continue seeing patients without payment, money showed up within about a week. That experience changed how I look at site payments, site sustainability, and the idea of “partnership” in clinical research. In this newsletter, I’m talking about why delayed payments are more than a finance problem, what sites need to do differently, and why sponsors and CROs should be tracking payment performance just as closely as enrollment and data quality. And I really want to hear from the site community: What is the longest you have ever waited to get paid, and what finally got the payment released? #ClinicalResearch #ClinicalTrials #SitePayments #ClinicalOperations #ClinOps #ResearchSites #ClinicalResearchSites #SiteManagement #ClinicalTrialFinance

Event Innovators & Founders - Disruptive Delivery Tech & Models

I’m on the hunt! And it’s not for crabs. 🦀 I want to know what’s out there - including the things that aren’t “out there” yet. I’m looking to speak to people working in or around the events industry who are developing products, services, infrastructure or operating models that could materially change how events are delivered (with a bonus if they can reduce their environmental impact). It could be something in market already, in R&D, at pilot stage, or still an idea on a piece of paper. I’m particularly interested in things that rethink how the industry operates, rather than simply offering a more sustainable version of an existing product. If this is you, please DM me/drop a comment. Or, if there’s a person, business or organisation you think I should know about, tag them below or send them my way. - Net is cast globally - must be event industry, industry adjacent, or directly transferable into events. What I’m not looking for: - consultants - events industry sustainability groups and networks - swag/giveaways products/services (unless you blow my mind 🤯) If someone is trying or ideating aroundsomething genuinely different, I want to hear about it!

LEED APs & Sustainability Professionals - LEED v5 Case Studies

Wanted: LEED v5 case studies. With LEED v5 mandatory registration coming July 1, 2027, I know lots of LEED APs and sustainability professionals in various roles who are curious to learn more and get ready. But actual certified projects are still rare. If you've been part of a certified LEED v5 project (or will be soon), I'd love to connect with you! I'm looking for real projects to feature in an ongoing webinar series reaching thousands of sustainability professionals who want to understand what v5 actually looks like in practice, not just in the credit language. Whether you BD+C, ID+C, or O+M, I and thousands of others would love to hear about it. I know -- your project is unique. You're under an NDA. You've already changed firms since you worked on it. Maybe your project isn't even certified -- yet. Maybe it never will be (there's a great story there). Maybe the interesting lessons learned are a little hard to share, or maybe (this is very common), you just did the work and don't even realize how valuable your story is! So. Many. Reasons. to not share your story. I get it — and I still want to hear from you anyway! Like many of you, I'm a hands-on learner. I don't learn from reading the Reference Guide. I learn from from real stories, from real people. Never underestimate the power of the hidden nugget of knowledge that you've already unconsciously incorporated into your mental model. Onward -- we can caveat, anonymize, and get permission to share in a safe space. Help us all learn together by sharing your story, however big or small. There's something in it for you -- case studies are great marketing for you and your organization, but that's not all. They matter. Sharing best practices, one lesson learned at a time, is something we can all do to help scale our individual work and green up the entire built environment. Please DM me if you *might* have something to talk about. On behalf of my network of 5,000+ professionals -- thanks in advance for your help! #LEEDv5 #LEED #GreenBuilding #SustainableDesign #CaseStudy #BuildingSustainability

HR & People Leaders in Baltics 500+ Orgs - Burnout Risk & Attrition

Would you be interested in sharing how your organization is handling the burnout risk of their talents? Within the framework of my interest in normalizing talk about burnout and minimizing the impact, but also raising awareness that there is a way of recovering, I'm launching a research project: Burnout Attrition, 2026 — Sustaining Humanity at the Speed of Technological Acceleration. It's a regional study looking at how organizations with 500+ employees across the Baltics assess and manage burnout risk — and what actually happens when people leave because of it. I'm inviting two groups to take part: 📋 HR & People leaders — share how your organization measures, tracks, and manages burnout risk and attrition. I'm reaching out directly, but if I haven't found you yet, please reach out to me — I'd love to include you. Organizations can choose to stay anonymous or be named. 💬 Employees — I want to hear your honest take: is your organization's narrative that burnout real, or an excuse for laziness? Is it understood as a genuine mental and physical health issue that quietly takes your best people? And how is the risk of burnout — and the departures it causes — actually managed where you work? If you've burned out yourself, I'd especially welcome your perspective. The survey is anonymous. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dgw9u-A7 Results will be published this autumn on LinkedIn and at cebere.com. Leave your email if you'd like them sent directly to you. #BurnoutAttrition #HR #TalentSustainability #Baltics

Sustainability & Nonprofit Executives - Conscious Leadership Podcast

What do these stir up in you? -Lived experience based knowledge of the world and how it operates ( especially nature and the human experience). -Mental focus and the ability to analyze, discern the most important aspects – knowing what to use and what to discard and move past -Knowing when to follow the rules (and knowing when the rules no longer apply). -Mediating and refereeing between competing and conflicting demands, emotions and reason -Osscilating between commercial interest, broader social interest and future losses and gains -A systems mindset, integrative thinking, inclusive behaviors and a strong moral compass and sense of justice -A strange and sometimes contradictory sense of service and commitment to welfare and the ability to disassociate from impulse, delay action and immediate gratification in order the achieve the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people -The ability to exercise judgment, influence and forge collaboration in the absence of perfect data...getting teams and organizations committed to meaningful action and doing the right thing. If any of these sound familiar or resonate, then the chances are you’re a sustainability or non profit executive, a social impact / CSR leader and / or a social entrepreneur. It might also surprise you to know that these qualities and behaviors are also regarded as the core foundational principles of wisdom. (I don’t think it’s any coincidence that those drawn to the former career paths have spent their lives in pursuit). If any of this sounds, feels, smells, and walks like you, then I’d love to invite you to be a guest on #Itshoudntbethishard - the video podcast that dives deep into the messy, meaningful work of responsible business and conscious leadership. Our guests often share their own insights and experiences about power, profit, fear, failure, purpose, and the many barriers and obstacles that often frustrate conscious leadership, sustainability and more equitable progress. A big thanks to Kathy Baird, Hilary Keates David Katz (Plastic Bank Founder) Jenny Morgan Karimah Hudda Bob Fish & Michelle Fish, Jennifer Motles 🌻Kathleen Rogers Amelia Landers Kate Williams Jeffrey Hollender Matthew McCarthy Heather K.
