About Andrew Britton

CEO

Andrew is Kumi’s founder and CEO, responsible for overall leadership of the business. He is recognised internationally as a leading expert in responsible business conduct and supply chain due diligence.

Under Andrew’s leadership, Kumi has and continues to play an instrumental role in shaping compliance frameworks and industry standards for responsible supply chains. Kumi has become a trusted advisor to businesses across the world, helping them to identify and manage risks, meet customer and stakeholder expectations and deliver more value through responsible business practices. From its beginnings as a “one-man-band”, Kumi is now a fast-growing and truly international consulting firm.

Spending the formative years of his childhood in rural Uganda – in Kumi District – sowed the seeds for Andrew’s conviction in the power of business to help tackle poverty and drive sustainable socio-economic development in the world’s poorest countries. This conviction has guided his career as a sustainability and human rights professional. Prior to founding Kumi in 2015, Andrew spent 13 years working for a number of sustainability and international development consulting firms. This included eight years in the sustainability practice of EY.

Andrew has worked in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas and across many industry sectors. At Kumi, he oversees and is actively involved in the delivery of Kumi’s consulting services to clients: engaging senior leaders, advising project teams, and assessing and developing responses to challenging situations.

In his free time, Andrew enjoys hiking, running, and travelling with his family to explore off-the-beaten-track holiday destinations.
