Sarah Daly is a climate champion and independent sustainability consultant who advises organisations, businesses and agencies. A TEDx speaker, Sarah is a leading LinkedIn sustainability influencer, and is named in the 2023 Unlock Net Zero Climate Champions' Power List.
Sarah's varied workload includes discussing responsible supply chains and procurement, or advising City of London businesses on decarbonising offices, or talking to local government about social housing, or lecturing at universities, or advocating sustainability strategies with charities and overseas development agencies…
Originally in marketing and communications, Sarah found herself working with former miners who had bought a disused coalfield for £1 with plans to turn it into an energy efficient village. Sarah dubs it her Al Gore moment.
Listen in to hear why Sarah:
• makes an effort to lead by example
• sold her car in favour of an e-bike (and how she's getting on with that choice)
• has swapped long-haul flights for rail-accessible holidays
• has given up meat and fish.
A friend of hugely respected climate change activist Jonathan Porritt, Sarah offers tips for finding and creating a job role that meets your ethical and green values, and emphasises the importance of hiring next generation employees to ensure fresh thoughts and young voices shape future company success.
"I think you can be respectfully vocal," she says.
