“It is never easy to bring about change when the toughest consequences of inaction lie far ahead of us. I personally try not to be overwhelmed by the bigger picture but instead have it inform and drive everything I do at SustainAbility, working jointly with business towards a more sustainable future.”

Based in London, Elvira focuses on the food and healthcare industries, with clients including Aldi, AstraZeneca, Bayer and Nestlé. She has a particular interest in exploring situations in which sustainable development priorities for food and healthcare companies are interconnected. Prior to joining SustainAbility, Elvira was involved in research projects on the politics of climate change and international migration at the London-based think tank Policy Network, and also worked at the European Parliament in Brussels.
