David James
Carbon Solutions Specialist

In 1995, we were a founding partner of the Forest Stewardship Council® which meant that we were able to start checking that the forests we sourced from globally, were being managed responsibly for the supply of raw materials. If wood is harvested as part of a carefully prepared management plan, biodiversity can be maintained and the forest protected for the long term. We manufactured over £200M of consumer goods for the European retail market under FSC membership for 24 years in partnership with the Soil Association®. I held a number of senior roles in business development, along with building and running my own distribution company. This hands-on experience of challenges that business owners face, led me to specialise in advising companies on how to improve their long-term approach to sustainable manufacturing, business development, and supply chain. Having gained BSI Associate Consultant status, I help businesses with carbon training & reduction solutions on the journey to Net-Zero.

Climate change is something that I have always had an interest in, having explored both sides of the argument. Since joining Auditel in 2020, I met a number of our network with huge knowledge and experience in the carbon accounting and management space, this inspired me to retrain in this field.

I want to help businesses achieve verified carbon neutrality in a meaningful and achievable way. With over 30 years experience in sales, operations and project management, I have the skills to help businesses maximum efficiency, I can also train my clients team to develop carbon data collection skills and create carbon reduction plans that will bring cost savings to the organisation, match this with Auditel’s extensive experience in procurement and cost management and its a winning formula for all.
