About

Hello, I’m Bex.

Thank you for finding your way here. I'm the founder of Bex Hall Sustainability, and depending on the day, you'll find me advising a global manufacturer on their human rights due diligence, coaching a woman through her first promotion into a Head of Sustainability role, or filming an Instagram reel about a cruelty-free beauty product I can't stop talking about. Different rooms, same belief: sustainability works best when it makes sense.

I have always wanted to have a positive impact on the world, leading me to study Geography at Oxford, then an MSc in Sustainability (Business, Environment and Corporate Responsibility) at Leeds, and later an LLM in human rights law from Birkbeck, University of London — formal training I still draw on in every due diligence programme I design. My undergraduate dissertation, on consumer perception of second-hand and sustainable fashion, was marked down at the time for not being "academic enough”. The mark stung, but the subject didn't go away. Sustainable consumer behaviour is now a serious, well-funded field in its own right, and it's exactly the kind of work I still do today through my own sustainable lifestyle content.

After 7 years in a range of international consulting organisations focussed on sustainability, human rights, risk and supply chains, I went on to found and scale a sustainability consulting practice inside a world-renowned responsible sourcing organisation, Sedex, working with household names on human rights due diligence, sustainable supply chains and compliance - turning data into doing.

At the end of 2024 I started Bex Hall Sustainability because I believe we all have a part to play in protecting our planet and its people — whether you're one of the world's biggest organisations or someone making different choices in your weekly shop. My job, whichever hat I'm wearing, is to educate, empower and excite people about sustainability, not lecture them into it: for the businesses I consult for, the women I coach, and the people who follow along with my own sustainable living choices. Integrity, professionalism, practicality and trust sit behind all of it - you get the same honest advice and practical support, whatever we're working on together.

Outside the day job, I host the Sustainable Fuchsias podcast, interviewing women across the sustainability industry about their careers and the big topics shaping it — and I'm just as likely to be found testing a new product for @sustainably_bex as I am prepping a board presentation. 

I also run the Bexceptional Foundation, a charity based in England and Wales providing funded mental health support for women who’ve experienced sex and gender based harm, and sing in Choir Noir.
