Buyer - Global - Perfumery Raw Materials @LUSH

Poole, GB

As an experienced professional in sustainable sourcing, I lead a dynamic and ever growing portfolio that spans essential oils, absolutes, and aroma chemicals with an unwavering commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.Through a deep understanding of the environmental and social impact of buying I have successfully developed and implemented strategies to source materials and ingredients from ethical and environmentally conscious suppliers. My focus on biodiversity friendly agriculture supports resilient farming systems, boosts biodiversity, and aligns with Lush ESG commitments to combat climate change and promote social equity in sourcing communities.With a collaborative and entrepreneurial mindset, I champion a work culture grounded in trust, respect, and mutual growth, fostering strong, open communication and long-term partnerships with stakeholders, suppliers, and colleagues. This approach also allows me to work closely with perfumers to integrate sustainability into product innovation and meet evolving consumer preferences.I bring a strategic mindset to supplier relationship management and project management, guiding complex negotiations to ensure long-term value for all stakeholders. Through my commitment to sustainable and regenerative practices, I contribute actively to Lush\'s charitable efforts, driving resources toward regenerative agriculture, ecological restoration, and rural development projects that make a global impact.
