Second charge lender, Evolution Money, has announced the appointment of Sue Harrison as its new head of environment, social and governance (ESG).
Harrison was previously HR director for Baines and Ernst and has worked at Evolution for several years leading the business’s vulnerability strategy.
She was also involved with the Senior Manager and Certification Regime (SMCR) implementation and roll out, and has over 20 years’ experience working within financial services and the public sector.
“Our purpose at Evolution is to create financial inclusion by offering bespoke loans to UK homeowners,” Harrison said. “By developing a comprehensive ESG strategy we can run our business in a way that creates positive change for our employees, the environment, and our community. I am excited to have the opportunity to shape this strategy with the full support of the Board and shareholders.”
Harrison’s role will see her develop Evolution’s ESG credentials, reporting directly to the lender’s CEO, Steve Brilus.
He added: “We recognise the importance of ESG within the business, and the wider financial services industry, and therefore it makes absolute sense to appoint Sue who will proactively work on, and guide us, through our ESG strategy. In plain English, both myself and the Board want to run a business we can be proud of which goes beyond profit and growth.”
