Expert profile

Currently based in Manila​,​ I am a corporate sustainability specialist and CSR expert with a Masters degree in Sustainability Management from the University of Toronto with experience working with businesses across the world. I have helped businesses build their sustainability strategy and internal policies and also helped several of them create their first sustainability reports. My expertise lies in helping businesses make the right choice when it comes to prioritizing their sustainability goals and building sustainable organizations. Previously​,​ I worked for the Centre of Excellence in Responsible as a Program Manager of Sustainable Development in Karachi. At my previous workplace​,​ I worked to make the private sector of Pakistan understand its responsibility to society and the environment it works. We ensured that the businesses of Pakistan continue to become better for all their stakeholders. Businesses in Pakistan have one of the largest supply chains in the world through the production of textiles​,​ surgical goods​,​ sports goods​,​ and so on. Hence​,​ these businesses have impacted millions of people every day in the country​,​ mainly those living below the poverty line and living in areas struck most by the impacts of climate change. I also assisted large businesses with their impacts via the UN SDGs. I wrote a report for the PBC titled: Decoupling Growth from Impact on the Environment regarding the impact large businesses in Pakistan have on the environment. On the side - I run a cause-related arts initiative through which I create paintings focusing on social and environmental issues occurring around the world and through their auction and sales​,​ fund many causes globally.
