The client, a mid‑size manufacturing firm, had no formal sustainability plan and faced pressure from investors to improve ESG performance.

I was tasked with creating a three‑year sustainability roadmap that aligned with their business goals and regulatory requirements.

Conducted a materiality assessment, facilitated workshops with senior leadership and key suppliers, identified quick‑win initiatives (energy efficiency, waste reduction), and drafted a phased implementation plan with KPIs.

The roadmap was approved by the board, leading to a 12% reduction in energy use in year 1 and positioning the company for ESG reporting under GRI standards.

A consumer‑goods client wanted to redesign its packaging to meet upcoming EU circular‑economy directives.

Develop a packaging solution that reduced virgin plastic use by at least 30% while maintaining brand integrity.

Analyzed lifecycle data of current packaging, sourced recyclable materials, collaborated with designers to create a refillable system, and performed cost‑benefit modeling.

Implemented a refillable packaging system that cut virgin plastic use by 35%, saved €1.2 M annually, and earned the client a sustainability award.

The CFO of a logistics company doubted the ROI of transitioning to an electric vehicle fleet.

Build a compelling business case to secure funding for a pilot EV program.

Compiled total cost of ownership models, benchmarked industry case studies, projected carbon‑reduction benefits, and presented a phased rollout with risk mitigation strategies.

Secured $3 M funding for a 50‑vehicle pilot, achieving a 20% reduction in fuel costs and a 15% drop in emissions in the first year.

A multinational client needed to align its reporting with the new EU Taxonomy and SFDR regulations.

Create a compliance framework that integrated data collection, verification, and reporting across 12 business units.

Mapped regulatory requirements to existing data sources, built a centralized ESG data dashboard, trained local teams on data quality, and instituted quarterly audit checks.

The client achieved full compliance six months ahead of the regulatory deadline and improved ESG rating by 0.4 points on MSCI.

A retail chain wanted to reduce its carbon footprint but lacked insight into store‑level energy use.

Identify high‑impact energy‑saving opportunities using existing utility data.

Aggregated monthly electricity bills, applied regression analysis to isolate outliers, and discovered that stores with older HVAC systems consumed 25% more energy.

Recommended retrofitting 30% of the stores, projected annual savings of 4,500 tCO₂e and $800 k in energy costs.

A manufacturing client needed real‑time visibility into its ESG performance for board meetings.

Design an executive‑level dashboard that summarized critical sustainability metrics.

Selected KPIs (energy intensity, waste diversion rate, water usage per unit, GHG emissions), integrated data from ERP and IoT sensors, and built an interactive Power BI dashboard with drill‑down capabilities.

Dashboard reduced reporting time by 70%, enabled data‑driven decisions, and was adopted as the standard reporting tool for the next three fiscal years.

During an ESG audit, the finance team reported lower emissions than the operations team for the same period.

Resolve the discrepancy and present a unified emissions figure to auditors.

Conducted a data lineage review, identified double‑counting in operations and missing scope 3 data in finance, standardized calculation methodology per GHG Protocol, and facilitated a cross‑department workshop to align reporting practices.

Delivered a reconciled emissions report accepted by auditors, improving data credibility and enabling the client to set accurate reduction targets.

A client invested in a rainwater harvesting system to reduce municipal water use.

Quantify the financial ROI of the system over a five‑year horizon.

Calculated capital expenditure, estimated annual water savings, applied discount rate to cash flows, and performed sensitivity analysis on water price fluctuations.

The project achieved a 3.2× ROI and a payback period of 2.1 years, leading to company‑wide adoption of similar systems.
