In 2022:


In the last year, these areas of commitment have been successful:
- Continuing to work with She is Sustainable / She is Still Sustainable to support women, including women of colour, disabled women and LBTQ+ women, who work in sustainability.
- Explicitly considering diversity and inclusion when designing and delivering work for clients. This has been the area where I have learned and improved the most. My approach has included considering the diversity of the teams I put together for projects, leading to more partnerships with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. I have also been able to learn from colleagues and include their diversity expertise when training client teams.
- Including diversity topics in my Making the Path by Walking newsletter.
- Seeking out and amplifying the voices of people from marginalised and minority groups.

I have not been able to mentor at least one person of colour, via IEMA or SocEnv. I would still like to do this.

I am still keen to collaborate with others in the sustainability and facilitation professions to learn, to challenge and to improve.

It’s high time for our profession to become a place where everyone can thrive, be listened to and have their skills and expertise recognised. I’m keen to learn and to do what I can.

- Continuing to work with She is Sustainable / She is Still Sustainable to support women, including women of colour, disabled women and LBTQ+ women, who work in sustainability.
- Explicitly considering diversity and inclusion when designing and delivering work for clients.
- Including diversity topics in my Making the Path by Walking newsletter.
- Seeking out and amplifying the voices of people from marginalised and minority groups.
- Collaborating with others in the sustainability and facilitation professions to learn, to challenge and to improve.
