Crowe has announced the appointment of Alex Hindson in its risk consulting team as the newest partner and head of sustainability.
Hindson joins the firm from Argo Group, where he was chief risk and sustainability officer, a role in which he “pioneered” industry-leading approaches to sustainability strategies. He was recognised for this work with the ‘Outstanding Achievement in ESG’ award in 2022.
With more than 30 years of experience, Hindson previously worked at AstraZeneca, Aon and Amlin, in a variety of risk management, consulting and governance roles. He has also acted as a non-executive director for non-profit organisations, including as board chairman.
In his role at Crowe, he will be responsible for applying this industry experience to help clients across all sectors with their net zero transition, sustainability strategy development and implementation, risk and governance enhancement, and data and scenario modelling.
As well as reporting and disclosure requirements, Hindson will also drive the firm’s own sustainability programme along with the wider risk consulting team.
Justin Elks, head of risk consulting, said: “I look forward to working with Alex to provide support and advice to our clients as they tackle the practical challenges of climate and ESG considerations, helping them to build sustainable businesses that can respond to, and benefit from, change and uncertainty.”
Hindson said: “The strength of the consulting team at Crowe was a big attraction for me and I am eager to start working with them in what will be an important year for sustainability issues.
“Helping clients on their sustainability journeys really is more crucial than ever, at a time where the spotlight is so firmly on ESG and being able to credibly substantiate your organisation’s credentials.”
Nigel Bostock, chief executive at Crowe, added: “Alex’s appointment is a great addition to our award-winning team. This not only ensures clients continue to receive top-tier service in pursuit of their sustainability goals, but also supports our own firm’s sustainability objectives. I look forward to seeing the team continue to grow as we move into the new year.”
