Sustainability adviser and advocate with >20 years experience. Passionate about making sustainability accessible to all organisations, regardless of history or sector
Contact https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-adams-I'm an experienced sustainability adviser and advocate.
I'm proud to work as a senior consultant for Grain Sustainability, which is a B Corp and 1% for the planet member. I balance this with the position of Chair of the Board of Caplor Horizons - a charity that helps strengthen other non-profits and purposeful organisations, so they can better achieve positive impact.
In the 20 years before these current roles, I held a number of in-house sustainability leadership positions in companies including The Co-op Group and Jaguar Land Rover, so I understand the challenges and rewards of bringing good intentions to life in practice within organisations.
As well as being a B Leader, I'm a faculty member of the Institute of Sustainability Studies, enjoy being a judge for the annual Global Good Awards and have trained as a Carbon Literacy Project facilitator. I also run People Planet Pint events in Warwickshire and was one of the original members of the Outsourced Chief Sustainability Officer (OCSO) Collective in the UK.
I strongly believe that sustainability should be accessible to all organisations, regardless of history or sector. The B Corp movement has a very exciting role to play in realising this vision.
I designed and ran the 'B Corp Academy' programme in 2023, with fellow Warwickshire B Leader Alison Phillips. This 12 week online programme takes a small cohorts of SMEs through the Business Impact Assessment process with ease and confidence. This model is excellent value and ideal for busy business leaders who are 'sustainability-inclined' but have previously struggled to find the time and resource to complete and submit their B Corp Application.
