Heather Lynch

On Purpose Associate, Oddbox

London

Heather is the Impact lead at ODDBOX - London's first and only sustainable fruit and vegetable subscription box that fights food waste. ODDBOX works directly with growers across the UK to rescue fruit and veg at risk of going to landfill. We want to inspire people to eat more sustainably, through rescuing great tasting seasonal fruit and veg.

ODDBOX have delivered over 250,000 boxes to 20,000 customers since we started over 3 years ago, which means over 1,200 tonnes of food saved, over 1,000 tonnes of CO2e prevented, and over 510,000 meals provided to charities that fight food poverty.

At ODDBOX, Heather is developing a personalised way of measuring the impact of the food saved, based on the composition of fruit and veg in every box we send, so that each customer can understand what impact they've had by purchasing an Oddbox.

Before joining ODDBOX, Heather was a consultant in the Sustainability and Climate Change at PwC, working on impact assessments for investors and managing large international development programmes and organisational transformation projects.
