Careers in Sustainability: Joshua Davies journey through student leadership, internships, environmental consultancies, construction, to sustainable finance

In this episode of the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton we have a lovely chat with another of our wonderful and most celebrated alumni, the fantastic Joshua Davies, now of Santander. Our chat covers Joshua's background, how and why he became dedicated to the environment and wider sustainability issues, how he accidentally became an Environmental Scientist, his impressive work as a student sustainability leader at a university level, our work on 'Blackout', his proactive approach to professional experience, and his first few jobs at First Wessex, Old Mutual, AECOM, and Multiplex.  We conclude by discussing Joshua's current role as Sustainability and Responsible Banking Senior Manager at Santander and his hopes for the future.Josh has been generous enough to continue working with us every single year since he graduated, and he is an important part of our 'Environmental Science Family'. We hope you enjoy our chat!Episode guest: Joshua DaviesEpisode host: Prof Simon KempEpisode editors: Sophie Green and Libby KaleEngage with us on instagram and X: @meliorapodcast
