About

Hi, I’m Mandi (and that’s Lando - F1, not Star Wars!), and I’m passionate about turning sustainability from a buzzword into something tangible, actionable, and deeply rooted in company culture. In my experience, when employees feel inspired and empowered, they can be the driving force behind a company’s sustainability success.

For the past (just shy of) seven years, I worked at Amazon - starting off in HR, taking on a volunteer role and turning that into 5 and a half years of driving employee engagement and education for WW Sustainability.

I’ve always said that if Amazon can do it, then anyone can!

From launching my local volunteer Sustainability Ambassador team and supporting our 2 sister-sites with theirs, in 2019, I got the opportunity to take over the program. I inherited 20 sites (inc. my three) with Ambassador teams and grew the program to over 2,000 teams in operations globally - Australia and Japan, across India, Europe and the Middle East, and across the Americas with teams in Mexico and Brazil.

Working in a Fulfilment Centre gave me the real-life experience and understanding of the complexity and movement of that environment. I used my previous work experience of customer service to learn about my customer - employees, from hourly associates to site leads - understand their daily challenges, and create a path to reduce the mental load of sustainability - so they could just go do.

Focusing on three key pillars, I created the toolkits, projects, and plans for our Ambassador network to simply run with it. Sustainability shouldn’t be hard - it shouldn’t be this blocker that stops us from making progress simply because we get lost in the jargon.

I want to support other companies - big or small - embed a culture of sustainability for their business, for their employees, and ultimately for the planet. That’s why I started The Sustainability Consultancy!
