RSM appoints ESG director

RSM UK has appointed Nikki Sinclair as associate director in its environmental social and governance (ESG) team in Birmingham.

Sinclair joins RSM’s Birmingham office after nine years at the Legal Ombudsman, with roles including equality, diversity and inclusion manager, data and insight manager, and policy and research manager.

At RSM, she will focus on the social element of the ESG practice, using her EDI expertise to broaden the reach and take up of the race and equality code produced by RSM’s head of governance Karl George.

Sinclair said: ‘I’m thrilled to be part of a firm that puts people at its centre. RSM recognises the importance of ESG and putting the right structures in place to have a positive social impact.

“Being able to help clients build a robust strategy to achieve their EDI goals will be a particularly rewarding part of my new role. The firm’s ESG practice has been thriving since its inception, so I’m looking forward to helping the team build on its success.”

Karl George, partner and head of governance at RSM UK, added: “We are pleased to welcome Nikki to our ESG team which continues to grow by recruiting specialists to complement the core competences that we have developed. Nikki’s appointment will help us to ensure our clients don’t neglect the ‘S’ in ESG by considering the tools, metrics and actions that make an impact in this space.”
