Sveccha Kumar
Relationship Manager, International Green Awards

Whilst pursuing an undergraduate degree in marketing in India, Sveccha chanced upon the opportunity to produce a photographic essay on contemporary environmental issues. Marking a departure from ‘regular’ issues, she chose to build awareness of carbon trading, a nascent subject then in India, thus merging the creative with the academic. This sparked a keen passion towards the environment, and was subsequently selected as a ‘Climate Champion’ by the British Council in 2009.

Following a year long marketing research stint at Nielsen- BASES, she moved to London for a Masters degree in Environment & Development from King’s College London. She found her calling in business sustainability as she delved into consumerism and alternative consumption habits in the packaging industry, with emphasis on the bio plastics sector.

Currently in her role as ‘Relationship Manager’ at the International Green Awards™, Sveccha is involved in key tasks such as project management, stakeholder relations and marketing communications.
