I am a sustainability consultant who strongly believes that business is a critical part in solving the polycrises we are facing. Companies that are moving away from just doing a bare minimum (complying to laws and regulations only) have so much to win; not only when it comes to reducing your negative input, but to really make an impact and future safe the business. We are a team of specialists in GHG accounting, setting science-based climate targets, supporting companies in their value chain analyses, stakeholder dialogues, double materiality assessments, strategy, sustainability reporting (CSRD, GRI), IDG (Inner Development Goals), and change management.
A brief statement about your motivation to be part of the movement:
“I want to encourage more companies to use their business as a force for good. In my role as a B Leader, I can guide companies through the process, and also help them utilize their stories through strong communication.”
