Anjana Ajith

Anjana Ajith is a Senior Sustainability Researcher at Irish Manufacturing Research, where she supports
industry in understanding, measuring, and improving environmental performance across operations,
products, and supply chains. Her work focuses on making sustainability practical for manufacturing
organisations by translating complex sustainability requirements into clear strategies, decision-making
tools, training materials, and measurable actions.

Anjana specialises in life cycle assessment, greenhouse gas accounting, ESG reporting, sustainable
procurement, and sustainability implementation. She has experience supporting organisations with full
scope GHG assessments, Scope 3 emissions evaluation, supplier engagement, SDG mapping, and the
development of sustainability-focused procurement practices. Her work combines technical environmental
analysis with practical business application, helping companies move from ambition to implementation.

Before joining Irish Manufacturing Research, Anjana worked in sustainability consulting at EY, where she
supported advisory and training work across ESG reporting, global sustainability regulations, life cycle
assessment, carbon accounting, and responsible business practices. This consulting background has
shaped her ability to communicate sustainability concepts to a wide range of audiences, from technical
teams to senior decision-makers.

At Irish Manufacturing Research, Anjana contributes to projects that help manufacturers build sustainability
capability, strengthen reporting approaches, and embed environmental considerations into everyday
operational and procurement decisions. She has delivered training and masterclasses on sustainability, full
scope GHG assessment, SDGs, and sustainable procurement, with a focus on making technical topics
accessible, relevant, and actionable for industry.

Through her work, Anjana aims to help manufacturing businesses understand their environmental impacts,
identify meaningful improvement opportunities, and respond to increasing expectations from customers,
regulators, investors, and supply chain partners. Her approach is grounded in practical implementation,
collaboration, and the belief that sustainability can support both environmental outcomes and long-term
business resilience.
