Julia Hailes MBE

Sustainability Pioneer

I co-founded SustainAbility – and it’s 25! (Apr12)

John Elkington has posted a blog about why we started SustainAbility.  It describes us meeting in 1986 and setting up the consultancy / think tank in 1987.  Twenty-five years on SustainAbility is hosting a celebration and inviting everyone who has been involved with the company in the interim.  I’m going to participate but won’t recognise many of the faces because I stood down in 1995, so I could work from my home in Somerset.  John and I wrote eight books together, including the million selling Green Consumer Guide, which was published in 1988.
