New co-chairs announced for pro-manchester’s Green Economy committee

We are delighted to announce we have two new co-chairs for pro-manchester’s Green Economy committee.

Join us in welcoming Sarah Jones, Principal Consultant and Matt Rooney, Associate Director from Anthesis who will be taking on the role for the group. Our Green Economy group looks at ways organisations can become more sustainable and support this agenda, and also highlights the huge opportunities for businesses operating in this sector.

Sarah has over 10 years’ experience in climate science and the finance sector and has been recognised for her contributions through awards including “Best Use of Risk Analytics to Promote Resilience” at the London Cat Modelling Awards in 2020. She is passionate about climate, sustainability, and communication, and thoroughly enjoys exploring technical solutions for the complex challenges posed by climate change.

Matt is a decarbonisation and climate risk specialist with 15 years’ experience. He has supported public and private sector clients across Greater Manchester, and played an integral part in helping GM set their 2038 carbon neutrality target. He led the development of an emissions modelling tool, SCATTER, now used by over 300 local authorities.
