Sarah Daly is a climate champion and independent sustainability consultant who advises national organisations and international agencies. A TEDx speaker, Sarah is also a leading LinkedIn sustainability influencer, and in 2023 she was named in the Unlock Net Zero Climate Champions' Power List.
On any given day you might find Sarah advising on responsible supply chains and procurement, or engaging City of London businesses on decarbonising their offices, or talking to local government about social housing, or lecturing at universities, or discussing sustainability strategies with charities and overseas development agencies... the list goes on.
Sarah's career started in marketing and her outlook was changed when she engaged with a group of former Nottingham coalminers setting up a regeneration project.

After a successful and respected career, Sarah acknowledges she is entering the final phase of her working life. She offers tips for finding and creating a job role that meets your ethical and green values, and the importance of hiring next generation employees to ensure fresh thoughts and young voices shape future company success.
