Issy Russell

Project Specialist

Issy is a Project Specialist at Urban Foresight, bringing two years of experience working for a green mobility start-up, loveelectric. There she developed a strong interest in sustainable business practices and driving the company’s journey to B Corp certification. This included reporting on environmental metrics and promoting environmental and sustainability training for the workforce.

During her politics degree at Newcastle, Issy combined her interest in sustainable development with a passion for the outdoors. This culminated in a dissertation on the commercial development of Mount Everest, assessing the environmental, political and economic impacts of the tourism industry in the region.

Issy is excited at the opportunity to help organisations articulate and deliver their net zero programmes. She is active in Edinburgh’s business networking community and a member of the Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability.
