About Sameeksha Sp, Ph.D.

Being a Sustainability Consultant is exactly what you'd think it's like. I'm the colleague at work that everyone wants to know but nobody wants to be. If you want to get something done, you come to me - everyone knows that! Yet no one wants to have to do what I do because of the amount of personal time and effort that goes into being everyone's go-to. Luckily, I'm obsessed with staying organized and making everyone's life easier. It brings such a genuine joy to my heart to take the burden off of my loved ones' shoulders, and I always do anything I can to enhance that. Work is no different. There aren't many things that can grow a company the way that trust and dependability can, and I pride myself in being so dedicated to both.When I'm not at work or in denial about having a social life, I'm at home mothering my 3-year-old Lhasa, Acchu. My Dog is my absolute rock and has helped me to really understand the real meaning of life. The love I have for my Dog is so infectious that I can't help but radiate it onto anyone I cross paths with. I truly just want us all to succeed and will go out of my way to ensure that.I will bend over backwards to help others' dreams come true, but I also understand the importance of standing your ground and holding your own - Balance. One of my first memories in school is going to a parent-teacher conference in kindergarten and having my teacher tell my parents, "Sameeksha is definitely one of my most talkative, no matter where I move her in class she communicates with everyone!" Throughout my life, I have developed the art of being able to communicate with anyone at any given time. From studying internal and external communication to working with different sectors that allow me to utilize this skill in different ways, I've learned that effective communication is at the core of any successful leader and business.Feel free to reach out if you ever need any emotional support, advice on those tricky horses; we can get it done together.

    Science Based Targets Initiative Apr 2017 - Jun 2020
    Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
    External Validation: In the role of external validator, our operations remained independent from both the SBTi and the companies seeking validation. This independence ensured impartiality and credibility throughout the verification process.Expertise and Accreditation: As external validators, we were typically accredited organizations or individuals with expertise in GHG emissions accounting, climate science, and target-setting methodologies. With this expertise, we assessed the robustness and accuracy of companies' emissions reduction targets.Verification Process: Our role as external validators involved reviewing the target submissions provided by companies seeking validation. This entailed scrutinizing the methodology used to establish the targets, baseline emissions data, target boundaries, and ambition levels to ensure alignment with the SBTi's criteria and guidelines.Assessment Criteria: We assessed whether the company's targets met the criteria outlined by the SBTi, including alignment with the level of ambition needed to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, as per the goals of the Paris Agreement.Feedback and Reporting: After reviewing the target submissions, we provided feedback to the company, identifying areas of alignment or improvement. Additionally, we prepared a verification report summarizing our findings and conclusions.Credibility and Transparency: Our endorsement as external validators added credibility to companies' emissions reduction targets, assuring stakeholders of their scientific rigor and credibility. Moreover, the verification process enhanced transparency by providing clear documentation of the assessment.
