Peter Sharratt - Director of Sustainability & Climate Change

Profile

Based in London, Peter has global responsibility for our Climate Change and Sustainability consultancy services. There is no typical day for Peter but some of his responsibilities include setting strategic direction for the business; providing innovation and leadership in global projects and ensuring that the best outcomes are achieved for our clients and the environment.

 

Peter is an internationally recognised figure and thought leader in the industry so he regularly gets asked to speak at conferences and summits across the globe. As well as juggling all his projects across the world, he also sits on the leadership board for the China-US Centre for Sustainable Development and the management committee for the Business Council for Sustainable Development UK. As you can imagine, this means he is rarely in one place for more than a couple of days.
