Liz Goodwin

After leaving Chichester High School for Girls, she went on to study a BSc in Chemistry at UCL, and following that, completed a PhD in Chemical physics from the University of Exeter.

[4] In 2010, Cranfield University honoured Goodwin with an honorary Doctor of Science, in recognition of her achievements in environmental, recycling and resource efficiency issues.

[6] Goodwin started her earlier career as a Research Scientist for ICI, before working as an environment manager for Zeneca Agrochemicals, and then Syngenta as an Environmental Advisor.

[8] Under Goodwin's leadership, the Courtauld Commitment, involving major retailers, brands and their supply chains, has been driven forward and reductions in packaging have been achieved despite growth in sales.

Her role at WRI is very much to seek to achieve this ambitious target of the UN by engaging all of the Champions throughout the World and bringing about sustainable change in how much food is wasted by producers, throughout the supply chains and by consumers.

Goodwin has been asked by Sadiq Khan to mastermind the achievement of a number of goals by ReLondon including getting the capital on the path to increasing the recycling rate substantially by 2030; creating jobs in reuse, repair, re-manufacturing and materials innovation to support London's transition to the circular economy; and helping London become a net zero-carbon city by 2050.
