I help businesses turn complex sustainability requirements into practical plans, strategies and deliverables they can actually use. I'm an award-winning sustainability consultant with more than 20 years' experience working with global brands, SMEs and start-ups across the UK, Europe, US and Australasia. Before founding GB Sustainability, I held senior corporate responsibility roles with ALDI in the UK and Australia, worked in responsible retail at The Co-operative Group, and gained earlier experience in sustainability consultancy. My work includes carbon footprints, Scope 3, Net Zero and Carbon Reduction Plans, EPR and packaging compliance, B Corp, sustainability strategy and ESG assessments. I also work across materiality, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, circular economy, sustainability reporting and sustainability communications. Whether you need to understand a new requirement, assess where your business currently stands or build a practical roadmap, I can help you work out what matters and what to do next. Clients typically bring me in when they need to: • Understand a complex sustainability requirement or problem; • Assess where their business currently stands; • Develop a practical sustainability, carbon or Net Zero strategy; • Turn data and analysis into a clear roadmap or deliverable; or • Get an experienced independent perspective on sustainability work. Having worked both inside major businesses and as an independent consultant, I understand the technical side of sustainability as well as the practical realities of implementing it inside a business. I work independently, communicate clearly and focus on producing practical work that helps clients make better decisions and move forward. If you have a sustainability challenge and aren't yet sure what the right approach looks like, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to achieve.

Award-winning Corporate Law Expert & Contract Lawyer helping startups, SaaS companies, and global businesses draft, review, and negotiate enforceable agreements across US, UK, and international markets. Most contract issues don’t begin as disputes; they begin as poorly structured agreements that quietly expose revenue, IP, and compliance risk. I draft and refine commercial agreements, SaaS Agreements, NDAs, MSAs, Privacy Policies, and GDPR-compliant frameworks that are built for enforceability, commercial protection, and regulatory alignment before problems surface. With 12+ years as a Business & Corporate Lawyer with extensive experience in Commercial Law, SaaS Contracts, Legal Compliance, Data Privacy, and Cross-Border Transactions, I provide high-level legal support tailored to modern digital businesses and fast-scaling companies. My approach combines risk mitigation, legal precision, and business strategy to ensure every agreement aligns with your operational goals while remaining enforceable under applicable US, UK, and international legal frameworks. Most lawyers draft documents. I architect legal systems that strengthen businesses. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 "Adesewa demonstrated exceptional professionalism and diligence in handling our commercial lease agreement, including contract drafting, lease negotiation, and legal review.

I help organisations make Business Continuity and Operational Resilience simple. No jargon, no 50‑page documents nobody reads — just clear, practical plans your team can actually use when things go wrong. If you need a Business Continuity Plan, a review of your existing documentation, training materials, risk registers, or support with mapping critical processes, I can take it off your plate and build it properly. I’ve worked across financial services, government, and digital transformation, but my focus here is straightforward: give you clean, structured resilience documents that make sense to real people. Roles, triggers, actions, workflows, dependencies — all laid out clearly. Whether you’re an SMB building your first plan or a larger organisation tightening up your resilience approach, I’ll help you get organised, confident, and ready for disruption. If you want continuity and resilience without the corporate waffle, I’m your guy.
