Dr. Robert J. Charnock has specialised in sustainability accounting since 2012, bringing extensive experience from both academia and industry. He earned his Ph.D. in Carbon Accounting from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), based on his work with the United Nations to develop Scope 3 carbon accounting standards for the financial sector. Dr. Charnock also served as a member of the ISSB Technical Reference Panel and has a decade of experience lecturing and teaching financial and management accounting.
Dr. Charnock is leading Metis to drive forward with research into best practice, focusing on three core themes: net zero transition planning, biodiversity scenario analysis, and ESG for MSMEs. Metis works closely with leading organisations such as WWF, WBCSD, and AICPA-CIMA on transition planning and ESG-related projects.
Metis also has ongoing consulting engagements in collaboration with RSK Group, who part-fund Metis, driving practical applications of their specialist insights.
