Murray Hogarth has been helping major companies to understand and respond to their social and environmental challenges since 1999, when he joined Ecos Corporation after a distinguished 21-year career in print and television journalism. His media experience includes reporting with flagship ABC-TV current affairs programs Four Corners and The 7.30 Report, and with top newspaper mastheads such as The National Times and The Australian, culminating with a spell as Environment Writer and Environment Editor at Australia’s leading quality newspaper, The Sydney Morning Herald (1996-99).

As a Strategy Project Leader with Ecos, Murray has worked extensively with clients in Australia, the US and Asia to help them assess how big social and environmental issues put value at stake for their businesses, and to plan and implement strategic business responses. Companies he has advised include Anglo Coal, Diageo, DuPont, Ford Motor, Bluescope Steel, Insurance Australia Group, ANZ, Toyota, BP and the Australian Agricultural Company.

Murray is a creative thinker who combines an intuitive grasp for sustainability issues and trends with a strong understanding of business drivers and corporate culture. He is responsible for much of Ecos’ stakeholder strategy and engagement work. He regularly supports Ecos’ market campaigning projects to drive government, corporate and community action in areas such as resource recovery and recycling, energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Based in Sydney, Murray is a regular radio commentator on sustainability issues. His pro bono roles include membership of the advisory panel for the Total Environment Centre’s Green Capital Program and serving as a longstanding Board member of the Environmental Defenders Office of NSW.
