I led Walgreens Boots Alliance’s first full Scope 3 inventory, presenting the results to senior leadership and at their global sustainability summit. That relationship has continued into my independent practice — I’m currently advising Walgreens as a general sustainability advisor, including support on their public Impact Report.

I’m also leading the Technical Associate Certification in Carbon Accounting, delivered with the Carbon Accounting Alliance and MyCarbon and accredited by ISEP — a first for the sector. A number of senior professionals have completed it so far, with strong feedback.
