Mary Child, delivering sustainable change through Nespresso
As the Sustainability Manager for the UK and Republic of Ireland (ROI) at Nespresso – a certified B Corp – Mary Child is responsible for driving the brand’s sustainability actions forward.
From developing Nespresso’s roadmap towards carbon neutrality and beyond to net zero, to leading Podback – the UK’s first industry-wide recycling programme for coffee capsules – on behalf of Nespresso, Mary oversees all of the company’s sustainable ventures.
Mary is also a UK representative of sustainability, both within the global Nespresso sustainability network and for the British Coffee Association. Prior to joining Nespresso, Mary held the role of sustainability consultant at the specialist environmental agency, Walker Resource Management (WRM).
