Josh Dowse

Head of ESG

Sydney

SenateSHJ > People » Josh Dowse

Josh helps clients and experts identify what they want to do for a more sustainable economy, and engage others with their actions and ideas.

Over the past 30 years, Josh has been one of Australia’s most trusted thought partners and communicators on ESG, sustainability, energy and climate change. He has prepared or reviewed dozens of investment ESG policies and corporate sustainability strategies. He has also facilitated and/or ghosted a range of significant public papers, including AEMO’s Integrated Systems Plan, the NSW Advanced Energy Strategy, the Australian National Outlook and the Business Roundtable Report on Climate Change.

Josh brings broad industry experience to these roles, after being a solicitor with Minter Ellison, a publisher with Allen & Unwin, an editor of the McKinsey Quarterly and a communication consultant with McKinsey & Company.

He has an Honours degree in History, an LLB and a Masters in Environmental Law and Economics, and learned as much as a father of four, a director of a disability NGO and a long-time coach and president of a junior rugby club.

SenateSHJ value Restless

"The more we wonder about people, history and ideas, the more we can deal with our present and future. Being certain is a dead end.”
