Nigel Leehane is a sustainability consultant specialising in environmental management and climate change mitigation. In addition to his consultancy work, he is heavily involved in international standards development. He currently chairs the BSI technical sub-committee for environmental auditing and is the chair elect of the ISO subcommittee responsible for ISO 14001 and related standards.

Nigel is currently the convenor of the working group developing ISO 14060, the forthcoming ISO standard for net zero aligned organizations. The project commenced in 2024 and has met 15 times in that period, with a working group composed of several hundred experts from developed and developing countries. ISO 14060 is at "draft international standard" stage, and will be made available in mid-June for public consultation and commenting. The standard, which includes robust and verifiable requirements for setting and working towards organisational net zero targets and pathways, is due to be finalised and published in the first half of 2027.
