Ed Smith is a sustainability and climate manager at Deloitte with nine years of experience shaping ESG strategy, risk management, and ethical value chains across consultancy and research roles. He progressed rapidly through Deloitte’s sustainability practice from ESG consultant to manager, advising clients on decarbonisation and governance while combining quantitative and qualitative analysis skills honed during an MSc in International Development. His background includes city-level adaptation work for ICLEI Europe and CSR research at NQC, showing a rare blend of local government insight and private-sector delivery. Ed’s early roles—internships in ESG and community-focused carbon reduction projects—illustrate practical, implementable approaches rather than just high-level policy. He is also experienced in stakeholder engagement and campaigning, demonstrated by leadership in refugee advocacy and public-facing sustainability outreach at major events. Based in Manchester, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective that links academic rigour with on-the-ground program delivery.
