Alex Watson, Research and Policy Director, CleanTrade
Alex Watson Alex is founder of CleanTrade, a new non-profit making the case to the UK’s main political parties for policies to reduce the embodied carbon emissions of the UK’s imports. After a decade of working in sustainability roles ranging from Ben & Jerry’s to Climate Impact Partners, Alex saw that, in many sectors, the incentives simply don’t exist for companies to decarbonise their supply chains. This inspired him to explore how government policy could change this, an area he has experience in from his time working at HM Treasury. https://cleantrade.org.uk
