Emma Shaw Email & Phone Number

I’m a social entrepreneur and consultant working to create a fairer economic system that is kinder to people and planet. I care deeply about the natural world. Starting my career as a Plants & Ecosystem Scientist and environmental campaigner, I graduated from the University of Cambridge with first class honours and an academic publication on the impacts of climate change on crop productivity. With entrepreneurial roots, I shifted my focus to the role of business in creating a more sustainable future. I completed Forum for the Future's work-based Masters in Leadership for Sustainable Development, joined the start up team of Future Cities Catapult and Co-founded Library of Things, a social enterprise tackling wasteful consumption to 'make borrowing better than buying for people and planet'.For the last 10 years I have been working in sustainable innovation, impact investment and entrepreneurship. Inspired by nature and social justice movements around the world, my focus is on creating new economic models, businesses and investment structures that are fairer and more regenerative by design. My particular passion is unlocking capital for female founders and social enterprises. I received the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award in 2021 for my work on innovative impact funding models.

Listed skills include Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility, Environmental Awareness, Research, and 10 others.
