ABOUT COLIN PRICE, SUSTAINABILITY & ESG CONSULTANT

I'm focused on working with startups and small and medium-sized businesses because I know what it's like to try and make an impact with limited time and budgets.

I’ve been a one-person team responsible for strategy, execution, and communication so I am in-tune with what it takes to drive results in a high-growth environment.

I love uncovering solutions to tough, complex problems. That’s one of the reasons I’ve dedicated my career to sustainability. I’m a firm believer that we all have a responsibility to future generations and that business has to be part of the solution to our biggest challenges.

I have robust domain knowledge across the practice of sustainability management and ESG strategy - including carbon management, responsible sourcing, packaging circularity, ingredient safety, and advocacy.

I’ve been passionate about this work since I was in grade school, knocking on neighbors doors to organize our community to fight air pollution from a nearby industrial site. I continue to leverage that passion in ways that inspire others.

  • I am a relationship builder and committed collaborator, where trust, transparency, and respect are at the heart of how I show up. I have a deep commitment to continuous learning and development.

    I look forward to continuing to build teams, businesses, and movements where I can use my adaptive and analytical management style to drive action on our most pressing societal issues.

    I am proud of my role in the areas of responsible sourcing, packaging circularity, and carbon management— all of which contributed to our reputation as one of the cleanest, most sustainable beauty brands in the industry.

    I was responsible for drafting the brand’s “clean bible” that covered internal policy and standards for ingredient safety, testing, packaging, sourcing, and climate.

    These standards and the corresponding marketing materials helped the developer win numerous competitive bids that led to the construction of hundreds of new homes for families in need.

  • I partnered with a high-growth wellness brand to set a net-zero science-based target, create a carbon management strategy and build a decarbonization plan focused on reducing Scope 3 emissions from their value chain.
