Background

About Lindsey Block

I am committed to shaping a private sector that delivers benefits to business and workers, and contributes to thriving, resilient communities. I excel at fostering innovative cross-sector partnerships and designing creative workstreams and programmes that deliver social impact. I have a proven track record in corporate sustainability strategy development and delivering social impact across the global supply chain of a major UK retailer. This is built on extensive overseas international development experience in Asia and Africa with the UK government and recent academic achievement in sustainability leadership." Lindsey has over twenty years’ experience in international development, sustainability and business and human rights. She is recognised for her ability to deliver creative solutions; tapping into her broad network and drawing on her experience of working in both government and the corporate sector to effectively foster cross-sector collaboration and partnerships. She has designed and managed multiple complex international development programmes across the Pacific, Caribbean, Asia and Africa; aligning them to strategic objectives and best practise in project management. Several of these are still operational nearly 10 years later. Building on this experience, Lindsey has played a central role in developing strategies for both the government and corporate sector. These have included the UK government’s Emerging Power agenda that helped shape UK-India relations and Primark’s first every corporate sustainability strategy.
