Sarah Daly - Associate Director, Sustainability - Turner & Townsend After an exciting foray into photojournalism and a degree in reportage photography, Sarah‘s first 15career years were leading and growing the multi-award-winning international marketing and management consultancy she formed a year after graduation. She then pivoted into a hybrid of marketing-led sustainability strategy as an independent consultant for three years until a client offered her the role of managing director of an architectural team. She transformed it into a cutting-edge, BIM-led sustainable design practice, before returning to another stint as an independent sustainability consultant whilst doing an MSc Sustainable Development. Next as European Head of Marketing for a global environmental consultancy, her achievements included creating a fully integrated planning and EIA service for the housing development sector and integrating several acquisitions in the UK and South Africa. At not-for-profit Sustainable Homes as Director of Strategic Sustainability & Partnerships, Sarah worked on a range of advocacy issues from fuel poverty, homelessness and housing affordability to MMC and construction standards. When that team was disbanded, she returned to independent sustainability consultancy and working with the Construction Leadership Council, she had a particular interest in driving the off site manufacturing agenda, supporting public and private sector development teams with the transition to low-carbon, higher performance pre-manufactured housing. Sarah has also lectured extensively, up to MBA level, on sustainability/CSR, management, marketing and leadership. She maintains the lifetime benefits to society of better buildings and places, need to be factored into the business case in terms of carbon reduction, but also deep social value including affordability, reduced crime and strain on health services, better educational outcomes, improved biodiversity, EDI etc – all the ingredients of a better society in a resource-constrained world where resilience and alignment with the SDGs are now essential.
