Impact for Hire #1: Martin Uttley

Meet Martin Uttley: an impact-driven Brit looking to help organizations tell their sustainability story.

Martin Uttley is a sustainability communications professional with a diverse background in corporate sustainability, marketing, and ESG reporting. Hailing from Cheshire in the United Kingdom, this impact-driven Brit is looking for his next opportunity working with companies advancing sustainability — either in-house or at an agency.

“There is a better way of doing business and policy that can preserve our amazing planet for future generations and I want to help build, sustain, and grow that world for my son,” Martin said when asked about what drives him to work in sustainability.

Currently, based in Sacramento, California, Martin has a passion for exploring nature — he spends much of his free time enjoying Lake Tahoe with his family — and sports. Martin says he’s particularly interested in working in the sports or outdoor industry. Martin wants to know that the work he does makes a difference in the world — and that he can help tell those stories.

Enjoying the beauty of nature with his son gives Martin perspective and drives him.

Martin earned his bachelors at The University of Leeds and a Master of Business Administration from Presidio Graduate School. Most recently, he has developed and delivered marketing strategies for a startup in the sustainability education space and written ESG reports for large public companies. Prior to this, he consulted with local businesses and non-profits to help them understand sustainability and how to get involved and engage stakeholders in the process.

Martin’s “sustainability superpower”: Strategic thinking: being detail-oriented while considering the big picture.

As of June 2022, Martin is available for freelance or full-time opportunities. To learn more about Martin or contact him, please check out his LinkedIn profile.
