Confirmed speaker for London 2016
Sustainability Advisor, Food and Energy, Forum for the Future
Jenny is a Sustainability Advisor across the Food and Energy teams at Forum for the Future, a global independent not-for-profit organisation. A key focus of her work is how to drive forward progress on complex sustainability challenges to create systemic change – both through projects with partners to further sustainability leadership, Forum’s own initiatives, and bringing together different stakeholders for dialogue and collaboration.
Jenny has a background working on environmental justice, human rights and climate change issues. Before joining the Forum, Jenny worked for Proforest, who specialise in sustainable supply chain work, providing strategic advice and implementation support on sustainable production and responsible sourcing of agricultural resources to a range of international producers, organisations and companies including IFC, Unilever, General Mills, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). A particular focus of her work was on how companies and certification schemes could be better cooperating to improve smallholder livelihoods.
