In my role at APCO, my team was responsible for the data analysis and insights that formed the foundation of the ANZPAC Plastic Pact Impact Report—part of the global Plastics Pact network facilitated by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (UK). This project involved managing diverse stakeholders across industry, government, and environmental organisations to ensure collaboration and alignment. Central to my work was maintaining rigorous data governance practices to guarantee data quality, consistency, and transparency. The insights derived helped inform strategic decisions and measure progress towards circular economy goals, demonstrating how strong data stewardship supports impactful sustainability initiatives across sectors.
