Gareth D.

I help businesses turn complex sustainability requirements into practical plans, strategies and deliverables they can actually use. I'm an award-winning sustainability consultant with more than 20 years' experience working with global brands, SMEs and start-ups across the UK, Europe, US and Australasia. Before founding GB Sustainability, I held senior corporate responsibility roles with ALDI in the UK and Australia, worked in responsible retail at The Co-operative Group, and gained earlier experience in sustainability consultancy. My work includes carbon footprints, Scope 3, Net Zero and Carbon Reduction Plans, EPR and packaging compliance, B Corp, sustainability strategy and ESG assessments. I also work across materiality, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, circular economy, sustainability reporting and sustainability communications. Whether you need to understand a new requirement, assess where your business currently stands or build a practical roadmap, I can help you work out what matters and what to do next. Clients typically bring me in when they need to: • Understand a complex sustainability requirement or problem; • Assess where their business currently stands; • Develop a practical sustainability, carbon or Net Zero strategy; • Turn data and analysis into a clear roadmap or deliverable; or • Get an experienced independent perspective on sustainability work. Having worked both inside major businesses and as an independent consultant, I understand the technical side of sustainability as well as the practical realities of implementing it inside a business. I work independently, communicate clearly and focus on producing practical work that helps clients make better decisions and move forward. If you have a sustainability challenge and aren't yet sure what the right approach looks like, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to achieve.
