Helping industry navigate regulation, decarbonisation and supply chain complexity.
I advise C-suite executives and strategy teams at Fortune 500 automotive, mining and energy companies on ESG integration, carbon strategy, due diligence and circular economy — from boardroom to shop floor.
Twenty-two areas of expertise developed across consulting, research and international development. Each represents a service I deliver to help clients reduce risk, unlock value and meet regulatory obligations.
🎯
ESG Strategy & Integration
Embedding environmental, social and governance factors into core business strategy rather than treating sustainability as a siloed function.
What it means for your business
ESG strategy and integration means aligning sustainability with commercial decision-making — from capital allocation and M&A screening to product development and executive incentives. It transforms ESG from a reporting exercise into a strategic driver of competitive advantage.
Why you need it
Investors, regulators and customers now demand ESG performance as a baseline. Companies that integrate ESG into strategy gain lower cost of capital, stronger stakeholder trust and future-proofed operations. Those that do not risk stranded assets, regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
Why I am the right partner
I have spent 8+ years advising C-suite executives at BMW, Volkswagen, BHP and Siemens Energy on embedding ESG metrics into corporate KPIs and mainstreaming sustainability across business units. I combine McKinsey-honed strategic rigour with deep regulatory knowledge to ensure ESG integration is both ambitious and executable.
⚠️
ESG Risk Assessment
Systematic identification, evaluation and prioritisation of environmental, social and governance risks that threaten operations, reputation or financial performance.
What it means for your business
ESG risk assessment evaluates how climate events, human rights violations, governance failures or resource scarcity could disrupt operations, increase costs or destroy shareholder value. It provides a structured framework to identify, quantify and mitigate these risks before they materialise.
Why you need it
ESG risks are business risks. A single supply chain scandal or climate-related disruption can wipe out years of value creation. Proactive assessment protects P&L, shareholder value and social licence to operate. It is also increasingly required by lenders, insurers and regulators.
Why I am the right partner
I have conducted ESG risk assessments across 15+ countries for automotive and mining clients, identifying material risks before they became liabilities. My methodology combines quantitative scenario analysis with qualitative stakeholder intelligence to produce actionable risk registers that boards can act upon.
🔗
Responsible Sourcing
Ensuring raw materials and components are procured from suppliers meeting ethical, environmental and social standards throughout the supply chain.
What it means for your business
Responsible sourcing establishes criteria, audits and incentives to ensure suppliers adhere to environmental, labour and governance standards. It covers everything from raw material extraction to component manufacturing, creating transparency where traditional procurement sees only price and delivery.
Why you need it
Supply chain scandals damage brand value and trigger regulatory penalties. Responsible sourcing ensures quality, resilience and compliance while meeting investor and customer expectations. It also reduces supply disruption risk by diversifying away from high-risk geographies and practices.
Why I am the right partner
I designed responsible sourcing frameworks for critical raw materials and battery metals aligned with RMI, IRMA and IFC standards for BMW, CATL and Volvo Group. I understand the tension between procurement cost pressure and sustainability standards — and I know how to build frameworks that procurement teams will actually use.
🔍
Supply Chain Due Diligence
A systematic process of identifying, preventing, mitigating and accounting for adverse impacts across the value chain from Tier-1 to raw material extraction.
What it means for your business
Supply chain due diligence is a structured, ongoing process to identify, prevent and mitigate adverse environmental and human rights impacts across your entire value chain. It goes beyond audits to embed responsibility into procurement, contracting and supplier development.
Why you need it
The EU CSDDD and German LkSG now mandate supply chain due diligence with significant penalties for non-compliance. Beyond regulation, it prevents disruptions, protects brand reputation and creates supply chain resilience. Companies that lead on due diligence gain preferred supplier status and customer trust.
Why I am the right partner
I built Due Diligence Management Systems (DDMS) for global automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers, mapping risks across 8 raw material categories from lithium to rare earth elements. My systems are designed for operational reality — not just policy documents — and have been validated by third-party auditors.
🤝
Human Rights Due Diligence
Identifying, preventing and addressing human rights impacts across operations and value chains, aligned with UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
What it means for your business
Human rights due diligence identifies, prevents and addresses impacts on workers, communities and other stakeholders across your operations and value chains. It covers labour rights, indigenous rights, land rights and community health — aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Why you need it
Human rights violations in supply chains lead to regulatory fines, consumer boycotts and investor divestment. CSDDD and LkSG mandate specific human rights due diligence steps. Beyond compliance, it is a moral imperative and a prerequisite for social licence to operate in any jurisdiction.
Why I am the right partner
I managed human rights due diligence audits and social impact studies across 10+ countries for Fortune 500 clients, ensuring compliance with CSDDD and LkSG. I combine field-level audit experience with board-level reporting, so my recommendations are both grounded in reality and suitable for executive decision-making.
📊
Materiality Assessment
Identifying the ESG topics that matter most to stakeholders and have the greatest impact on business success, focusing resources on what truly counts.
What it means for your business
Materiality assessment is a structured process to identify which ESG topics are most significant to your stakeholders and most impactful to your business. It separates noise from signal, ensuring that sustainability investment is directed where it creates genuine value and trust.
Why you need it
Not all ESG issues are equal. Materiality assessment focuses investment on topics that drive value and stakeholder trust, avoiding wasted resources on peripheral issues. It is also the foundation of CSRD reporting and a requirement for credible sustainability strategy.
Why I am the right partner
I have conducted research and materiality assessments to prioritise ESG issues for CSRD-aligned sustainability reporting and EU Taxonomy classification. My assessments combine quantitative scoring with deep stakeholder engagement, producing defensible results that satisfy both regulators and investors.
↔️
Double Materiality
Assessing both how sustainability issues affect the company (financial materiality) and how the company impacts people and the environment (impact materiality).
What it means for your business
Double materiality requires companies to assess sustainability impacts in both directions: how ESG issues affect enterprise value (financial materiality) and how the company affects society and the environment (impact materiality). It is the defining feature of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Why you need it
CSRD mandates double materiality for 50,000+ companies. Non-compliance means regulatory penalties and exclusion from EU capital markets. Beyond compliance, double materiality reveals hidden risks and opportunities that single-materiality assessments miss — from stranded assets to new revenue streams.
Why I am the right partner
I assessed double materiality and ESRS alignment for CATL's German and Hungarian subsidiaries, enabling comprehensive regulatory readiness. I understand the methodological complexity of measuring both inward and outward impacts — and I know how to present the results in a way that boards and auditors accept.
🌡️
Climate Risk & TCFD
Identifying, assessing and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities using the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework.
What it means for your business
Climate risk and TCFD disclosure involves identifying, assessing and transparently reporting how climate change could affect your business — through physical risks (extreme weather, resource scarcity) and transition risks (policy change, technology disruption, market shifts).
Why you need it
Climate risk is financial risk. TCFD-aligned disclosure helps investors understand exposure, guides capital allocation and meets evolving regulatory expectations. It also forces internal discipline: what gets measured gets managed. Companies with robust climate risk frameworks make better strategic decisions.
Why I am the right partner
I advised BMW Group and Volkswagen C-suite executives on climate risk (TCFD) and sustainable market entry, integrating climate scenarios into strategic planning. I combine climate science literacy with financial modelling to produce risk assessments that CFOs and risk committees can act upon.
📈
Carbon Accounting (GHG Protocol)
Measuring and tracking greenhouse gas emissions using the GHG Protocol's standardised methodology across direct operations and value chains.
What it means for your business
Carbon accounting using the GHG Protocol provides a standardised, auditable methodology to measure and track greenhouse gas emissions. It establishes organisational and operational boundaries, emission factors and calculation methodologies that ensure consistency, comparability and credibility.
Why you need it
You cannot manage what you do not measure. Accurate carbon accounting is the foundation of any decarbonisation strategy and regulatory reporting requirement. Poor accounting leads to restatements, regulatory penalties and loss of investor confidence. Good accounting enables targeted abatement and credible claims.
Why I am the right partner
I integrated Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and carbon footprint analyses into ESG and risk management systems for heavy industry clients. I understand the technical nuances of scope definition, emission factor selection and uncertainty calculation — and I know how to build systems that finance and operations teams can maintain.
🏭
Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions
Comprehensive accounting of direct emissions, energy-related indirect emissions and all other indirect value chain emissions.
What it means for your business
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned operations. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy. Scope 3 covers all other indirect value chain emissions — typically 70-90% of a company's total footprint. Comprehensive accounting across all three scopes is essential for credible climate strategy.
Why you need it
Without full-scope accounting, decarbonisation strategies are incomplete and regulatory claims are unsubstantiated. CSRD, SBTi and CBAM all require Scope 3 data. Customers and investors increasingly demand transparency on value chain emissions. Partial accounting is no longer acceptable.
Why I am the right partner
I supported carbon accounting and emissions reduction programmes through product-level footprinting and supply chain hotspot analysis for automotive and mining clients. I have built Tiered supplier engagement frameworks to collect verified primary emissions data from 180+ upstream suppliers — moving clients from estimation to evidence.
🌍
Net-Zero & Decarbonization
Developing and implementing strategies to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through abatement, efficiency and technology transition.
What it means for your business
Net-zero and decarbonisation strategy involves developing credible, costed pathways to eliminate or offset greenhouse gas emissions. It covers abatement technology selection, energy transition planning, operational efficiency, renewable energy procurement and residual emissions management.
Why you need it
Net-zero commitments are now expected by investors, regulators and customers. Credible pathways protect licence to operate, unlock green financing and reduce energy costs. Companies without credible plans face exclusion from procurement shortlists, capital markets and premium customer segments.
Why I am the right partner
I developed science-based targets (SBTi) aligned net-zero roadmaps for heavy industry clients, integrating abatement cost curves and low-carbon technology pathways. I have delivered 23% carbon intensity reduction for aluminium components within 18 months and restructured procurement contracts to lock in CBAM cost predictability through 2030.
🎯
SBTi & Science-Based Targets
Setting emission reduction targets aligned with climate science to limit global warming to 1.5°C, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
What it means for your business
Science-based targets are emission reduction goals aligned with the latest climate science to meet the Paris Agreement. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validates these targets, providing an external seal of credibility that distinguishes genuine ambition from greenwashing.
Why you need it
SBTi validation provides credibility to net-zero claims. It signals to investors, customers and employees that decarbonisation plans are rigorous and achievable. An increasing number of procurement processes and investor mandates require SBTi validation as a precondition.
Why I am the right partner
I developed SBTi-aligned net-zero roadmaps and supported BMW Group's Scope 3 decarbonisation commitments through supplier engagement frameworks. I understand the SBTi validation criteria intimately — from target boundary setting to abatement methodology — and I know how to build internal business cases that secure board approval.
♻️
Circular Economy
Designing out waste, keeping materials in use and regenerating natural systems through closed-loop business models and value chain collaboration.
What it means for your business
Circular economy strategy redesigns business models to eliminate waste, circulate materials and regenerate nature. It covers product design for durability and recyclability, reverse logistics, industrial symbiosis, recycling infrastructure and new revenue models from waste streams.
Why you need it
Circular models reduce material costs, mitigate supply risk, meet regulatory requirements (EU Battery Regulation recycled content mandates) and open new revenue streams. In a world of resource scarcity and volatile commodity prices, circularity is a competitive advantage, not a cost.
Why I am the right partner
I delivered circularity and recycling projects including LCA integration and carbon footprint analysis; supported Novelis on recycling commodities and BMW on scrap rate reduction at die-casting suppliers. I combine technical knowledge of material flows with commercial understanding of how to make circular business models profitable.
🏘️
Social Impact Assessment
Evaluating the social consequences of projects, policies and operations on communities, workers and stakeholders.
What it means for your business
Social impact assessment evaluates how projects, policies and operations affect communities, workers, indigenous peoples and other stakeholders. It identifies positive and negative impacts, proposes mitigation measures and ensures that development creates shared rather than extracted value.
Why you need it
Social licence to operate depends on community trust. Impact assessment prevents conflict, ensures regulatory compliance and creates shared value. For mining and energy projects, it is often a legal requirement. For all projects, it is a risk management imperative.
Why I am the right partner
I conducted social impact studies and community development evaluations for automotive and mining clients across 10+ countries. My PhD research on energy transition governance gave me deep understanding of how industrial projects interact with local communities — and how to design interventions that genuinely improve livelihoods.
🗣️
Stakeholder Engagement
Systematic dialogue with investors, employees, communities, regulators and suppliers to understand expectations, build trust and co-create solutions.
What it means for your business
Stakeholder engagement is a structured process of dialogue with investors, employees, communities, regulators, suppliers and customers. It moves beyond one-way communication to genuine consultation, co-creation and grievance mechanisms that build trust and improve decision quality.
Why you need it
Effective engagement reduces conflict, improves decision quality, identifies risks early and strengthens brand reputation. CSRD and LkSG mandate specific stakeholder engagement steps. Beyond compliance, it is the single best way to avoid surprises and build social licence.
Why I am the right partner
I designed and facilitated stakeholder engagement programmes and capacity-building workshops for development practitioners, government officials and corporate clients across 15+ countries. I know how to engage sceptical communities, demanding investors and cautious regulators — and how to translate their input into actionable strategy.
📑
Sustainability Reporting (GRI, SASB, CDP)
Communicating ESG performance through internationally recognised frameworks: GRI, SASB and CDP.
What it means for your business
Sustainability reporting through GRI, SASB and CDP provides structured, comparable disclosure of environmental, social and governance performance. Each framework serves different audiences: GRI for broad stakeholders, SASB for investors, CDP for climate and supply chain transparency.
Why you need it
Standardised reporting builds investor confidence, meets regulatory requirements, enables benchmarking and drives internal performance improvement. Companies that report transparently attract lower-cost capital and stronger customer relationships. Those that do not report face exclusion and suspicion.
Why I am the right partner
I designed sustainability strategies aligned with CSRD, TCFD and GRI standards, delivering reporting frameworks for Fortune 500 automotive and energy clients. I understand how to map internal data to multiple frameworks simultaneously, reducing reporting burden while maximising disclosure quality.
⚖️
CSRD, ISSB & EU Taxonomy
Navigating the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, ISSB disclosures and EU Taxonomy classification for sustainable activities.
What it means for your business
CSRD expands mandatory sustainability reporting to 50,000+ EU companies and their global value chains. ISSB provides global baseline standards. EU Taxonomy determines whether activities qualify as environmentally sustainable, directly affecting green financing eligibility and investor classification.
Why you need it
CSRD compliance is mandatory with phased implementation from 2024-2028. EU Taxonomy classification determines access to green bonds, sustainability-linked loans and ESG-labelled investment. Non-compliance means regulatory penalties, financing exclusion and reputational damage.
Why I am the right partner
I assessed double materiality and ESRS alignment for CATL subsidiaries; screened manufacturing activities against Taxonomy Technical Screening Criteria; and unlocked €200M+ in preferential green lending terms for a Hungarian gigafactory expansion. I track regulatory evolution in real time and translate it into implementation roadmaps.
📋
CSDDD / German Supply Chain Act (LkSG)
Complying with the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and German LkSG on human rights and environmental due diligence.
What it means for your business
CSDDD and LkSG impose mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence obligations across global supply chains. They require risk analysis, policy adoption, preventive measures, remediation, complaints mechanisms and reporting — with civil liability and significant fines for non-compliance.
Why you need it
CSDDD will apply to EU companies and non-EU companies with significant EU turnover from 2027. LkSG already applies to German companies above certain thresholds. Early compliance creates competitive advantage and supply chain resilience. Late compliance risks penalties, lawsuits and market exclusion.
Why I am the right partner
I managed cross-functional teams on CSDDD and LkSG compliance, mapping due diligence across 8 raw material categories for battery and automotive supply chains. I have built the management systems, trained the procurement teams and passed the audits — so I know what works and what regulators actually look for.
⛏️
Conflict Minerals & Critical Raw Materials
Ensuring 3TG and other critical minerals are sourced responsibly without funding conflict or human rights abuses.
What it means for your business
Conflict minerals compliance ensures that tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG) and other critical minerals are not sourced from conflict-affected or high-risk areas where extraction funds armed groups or involves severe human rights abuses. It requires supply chain traceability, smelter verification and transparent reporting.
Why you need it
The EU Conflict Minerals Regulation, Dodd-Frank Act and customer expectations demand responsible sourcing. Non-compliance blocks market access, damages reputation and triggers investor divestment. For automotive and electronics companies, it is a non-negotiable licence-to-operate issue.
Why I am the right partner
I mapped due diligence across 3TG and battery metals supply chains, aligned with OECD Guidance and Responsible Minerals Initiative standards. I have worked with smelters, refiners and OEMs to build traceability systems that satisfy both regulatory requirements and customer audit protocols.
🔋
Battery Metals & Supply Chain
Managing sustainability, traceability and regulatory compliance of lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite and manganese supply chains.
What it means for your business
Battery metals supply chain management covers the sustainability, traceability and regulatory compliance of lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, manganese and rare earth elements. It spans extraction, refining, cell manufacturing and recycling — each with distinct ESG risks and regulatory requirements.
Why you need it
The battery supply chain is under intense regulatory and investor scrutiny. The EU Battery Regulation mandates carbon footprint, recycled content and due diligence. OEMs increasingly require full supply chain transparency. Non-compliance means exclusion from the electric vehicle market.
Why I am the right partner
I advised on market entry, risk and materiality assessment across battery metals and raw materials; supported CATL on regulatory readiness across 8 material categories; and structured green tariff negotiations and PPA feasibility for smelter and rolling mill suppliers. I understand the battery supply chain from mine to module.
📅
Project Management
Planning, executing and closing complex consulting engagements on time, within budget and to specification while managing cross-functional teams.
What it means for your business
Project management in sustainability consulting means planning, executing and closing complex, multi-stakeholder engagements on time, within budget and to specification. It covers scope definition, timeline management, resource allocation, risk management, quality assurance and client communication.
Why you need it
Sustainability transformations are complex multi-stakeholder projects involving procurement, legal, engineering, finance and external auditors. Effective project management ensures ROI, reduces risk and delivers measurable outcomes. Without it, strategy remains PowerPoint and value leaks away.
Why I am the right partner
I managed cross-functional delivery teams on ESG risk assessments, social impact studies and traceability projects for global automotive and mining clients. I hold project management certifications from the University of California and use structured methodologies that keep large, complex engagements on track without suffocating agility.
👥
Cross-Functional Leadership
Leading diverse teams across sustainability, procurement, legal, engineering and finance to align objectives and drive integrated change.
What it means for your business
Cross-functional leadership means aligning and motivating teams from sustainability, procurement, legal, engineering, finance and operations around shared ESG objectives. It breaks down silos, resolves conflicts and ensures that sustainability strategy is reflected in every function's priorities and incentives.
Why you need it
ESG transformation cuts across every function. Siloed approaches fail because procurement optimises for cost while sustainability demands traceability, and engineering focuses on performance while regulations require design-for-recycling. Cross-functional leadership ensures coherence, buy-in and sustainable change.
Why I am the right partner
I advised C-suite and strategy teams while managing delivery teams across sustainability, strategy, procurement and engineering disciplines for BHP, BMW and Siemens Energy. I speak the language of engineers, lawyers, procurement officers and CFOs — and I know how to build consensus among stakeholders with competing priorities.
