Prior to joining Action Sustainability, Rick worked as a Policy Consultant performing various impact assessments to changes in the chemical and environmental landscape for the likes of the EU Commission and UK government.
Travel and sustainability are a key passion of Rick’s which has allowed him to develop key incentives to reduce plastic pollution from tourism within Sri Lanka while working for a bespoke travel company.
A fun fact: Rick’s research in China observing the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the Pearl River Delta, South China led to a publication in the Environment International Journal.
