How Pip is building a better working world
"My job reflects my concerns with the current financial models. My role is about helping organisations understand that polluting the air, dumping waste or underpaying a person has a cost beyond what is currently valued, and by not valuing these costs, society will eventually stop supporting your business.
What my clients value most from me is having a consultant that understands both the financial and sustainability angles."
