Veronica works as a freelancer with environmental and engineering organisations on sustainability and environment issues. She has a sound grasp of the importance of sustainable development and implications of climate change on lives and livelihoods. This enables Veronica to explain issues simply when conducting environmental audits for businesses, promoting awareness of recycling and sustainability among community groups or discussing research findings and their implications for twenty-first century businesses.
Through advising on ways to reduce energy and water consumption and management of waste, Veronica promotes sustainability among groups as diverse as small businesses and local residents; from non-governmental organisations to international development agencies.
Her experience in engaging stakeholders in public consultations and businesses owners/managers, both in the UK and abroad, makes Veronica comfortable working with businesses audiences and sensitive situations.
