Hi there 👋 I’m Freedom Muranda

🌍 Climate Scientist | Sustainability and ESG Strategy Leader | Climate Risk and Carbon Specialist

I am a results-driven Climate Scientist and Certified Sustainability Professional with 5+ years of experience in Sustainability, ESG strategy, and climate risk analysis across multi-sector organisations. I currently serve as Group Sustainability Officer at Econet Wireless Zimbabwe, supporting telecoms, fintech, edutech, mobility, and renewable energy businesses.

My work sits at the intersection of climate science, data analytics, governance, and digital innovation, where I leverage scientific modelling, carbon accounting, AI-driven automation, and energy management to drive resilient, future-ready systems aligned with global sustainability frameworks.
