A clear and easy approach to improve your ESG performance

WHY, HOW AND WHAT

Inspired by Simon Sinek's Golden Circle, my approach begins with understanding "WHY" your company should prioritize its ESG performance. We'll then explore "HOW" to assess, generate, improve, and communicate your ESG performance, drawing from my 10 years of experience and scientific background. By balancing costs and technology with the help of my network, we'll aim for worthwhile investments. Ultimately, we'll deliver the "WHAT" - a holistic, customized ESG approach tailored to your company's needs and external demands, with minimal costs.

ABOUT ME

Sustainability is my passion, and I strongly believe that companies have a great lever to create change. This is why I decided almost 15 years ago to work in the field of corporate sustainability. With a bachelor's in Social Sciences focused on sustainability, followed by a master's in "Organizational Cultures and Knowledge Transfer" centered on the same topic, I embarked on a joint PhD program with Leuphana University and Volkswagen AG. Over the past 12 years, I've worked in corporate sustainability at Volkswagen, Audi, and two consultancy firms. Now, as a freelancer, I offer my holistic, authentic support to those seeking my academic and practical expertise.

Getting pressure from your customers regarding ESG?

Navigating ESG regulations, especially in the EU, can be overwhelming, especially for suppliers of the German automotive industry. The “Pit Stop Program” offers a strategic approach to balance long-term goals with immediate compliance needs, answering your urgent customer requests.

Long term strategy or short term support?

YOUR STARTING POINT

During the last couple of years, I realized that there are two main target groups for my services:

  1. Limited ESG experience but strong motivation to develop an internal sustainability strategy.

  2. Limited ESG experience meets external pressure for strong performance from customers, investors, etc.

The first group allows  more time to develop a holistic strategy, enhancing ESG performance, training staff, and preparing for stakeholder communication.

The second group, pressed by urgent demands from customers or investors, requires quick, practical solutions to avoid losing potential tenders.

Not a typical consultant

BUT ONE YOU WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH

I offer a unique approach to consulting. Instead of lengthy slide decks, expect a fresh perspective and deep understanding of ESG, backed by over a decade of experience in German manufacturing companies like Volkswagen and Audi, as well as a PhD in sustainability sciences. My goal is to provide practical roadmaps and clear structures, making ESG accessible to all, beyond just CO2, while injecting passion and self-motivation into every project. And yes, there will be a few slides too!
