Background

About Akshay Jayan

I help businesses move from sustainability talk to measurable action. With experience across corporate and consulting settings, I’ve led ESG strategies that align with global frameworks (GRI, BRSR, SASB, SBTi) while being grounded in what works on the ground. My focus areas include ESG reporting, circular economy, decarbonisation pathways, and integrating sustainability into core business strategy. At EY, I work with clients to translate regulatory expectations and stakeholder pressure into ESG roadmaps that deliver real results. Whether it's enabling circular business models, designing materiality assessments, or guiding net-zero journeys, my approach is pragmatic, data-driven, and built around long-term value creation. With a background in engineering and management, I bridge technical expertise with strategic thinking—equally comfortable in boardrooms and on the shop floor. I believe strong sustainability performance comes not from compliance alone, but from creating shared value for business, society, and the environment. What drives me is helping companies turn ESG into a business advantage—not just a reporting requirement. If you're looking to scale your sustainability efforts or strengthen your ESG roadmap, I’m always open to a conversation.
