Montagu Evans makes head of sustainability appointment

Montagu Evans has appointed Oliver Pye as head of sustainability, reporting directly to managing partner Rob Bower.

A chartered environmentalist, Pye will work to set sustainability targets for the firm, which is a member of environmental campaign groups Business Declares and Race to Zero.

Pye joins Montagu Evans from ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) and energy management consultancy EVORA Global, where he worked for six years as a director.

Rob Bower, managing partner at Montagu Evans, said: “Oli’s work will form a golden thread as he drives a strategic approach to sustainability through our planning and development offer. Not only should we, as a business, continuously challenge ourselves to do better across all areas of the ESG continuum, but we must bring the same thinking and commitment to daily engagement on projects and with clients.”

Oliver Pye added: “This role presents a huge opportunity to support the firm and its clients on their sustainability journey and to deliver significant positive impact across the full trinity of sustainability objectives”.
