About Najah O.

Hello, I’m Najah. I am a multi-disciplinary environmental engineer with 17 years’ experience. I specialise in risk governance, HSE compliance, continual improvement, resource efficiency, and designing sustainability, carbon and risk reduction strategies across FMCG, automotive, utilities, water, construction, fashion and apparel, and local government. I founded FASHINFIDELITY in 2018, whose aim is to amplify SE Asian narratives in deconstructing #sustainablefashion. We turn complex content into digestible pieces.. sometimes with independent commentary. Check us out on LinkedIn (@FASHINFIDELITY), Instagram (@fashinfidelity) and our blog, www.fashinfidelity.com. FASHINFIDELITY is currently in pre-seed phase to establish a Malaysian-based online platform providing news and media, educational, community, and consulting services, bringing together all the resources you need in one place. As a lead ISO 14001 auditor, I help organisations design and implement Environmental Management Systems. With my sustainability consultancy Footprint Mechanics, I help businesses navigate the ESG landscape, produce sustainability strategies and circular roadmaps, measure their impact, and identify business improvements (financial, technological, environmental, social, political, and legal) along the way. I am also a Lead Investigator (ICAM) which adds incident and causal analyses skills to continually improve processes and governance. Other competencies: project management, regulatory compliance, NCOS, NGERS, TCFD, Modern Slavery, UN Global Compact, GRI Reporting, GHG Protocol, carbon models, product stewardship organisations, EPR, lifecycle carbon, supply chain auditing, HSEQ systems, business continuity planning, and stakeholder relations. I recently joined CMP Consulting Group as Principal, working with our water authority clients in embedding capital carbon in design optioneering and decision-making. I have a track record of volunteering for causes I hold dear, and have held various Officer roles, the most recent for Professionals Australia for 4 years. My experience in boards and committees throughout my career has nurtured my skills as a strategic leader with a balanced viewpoint on risk, financial health, and sustainable development outcomes. I am currently the Chief Communications Officer of CERAH, an environmental organisation fighting to end transboundary haze in ASEAN.I am also a productivity coach.If you're as passionate as I am about for-purpose business models, I’d love to chat. Let’s do coffee! ☕️

By visualising events and automating actions from investigations, the Alliance reduced the likelihood and/or consequences of possible repeat events. The Regulator was actively consulted during this process, as well as landcare groups.I established a workable 5-year Environment Sustainability Plan which contributed to better processes for risk control and reduction in wastage and customer complaints. This includes easy-to-follow risk plans called 'Environment Essentials'. Subsequently, the Corporation has re-produced initiatives, modelled on my work, to the greater Western Australia region, something I am extremely proud of.I assessed HSEQ compliance risks for capital projects and audited them and provided technical leadership for many drainage for liveability works, as well as pipeline/pump station constructions.I was an integral force behind PRA's continued triple certification of the HSEQ Management System since the Alliance's inception and recently successfully upgraded the Quality and Environment component to the 2015 ISO version.
