Effective use of AI in your sustainability function

Benefits

More possibilities for your sustainability team

Impact

Together with you, I find your biggest levers and turn sustainability into a business advantage. Cost/benefit and a board-ready deck included.

Time saved

Up to 70% less time on reporting compared with manual processes (industry benchmark). One data pipeline feeds CSRD, ratings and customer questionnaires at the same time.

Reliability

Research-backed potential analysis, a maturity check before you build, and fully documented methodology, so you back the right AI bets.

Plugs in

Minimally invasive: nothing new to learn, no extra step in the daily flow. AI runs inside your existing systems. The knowledge stays with your team.

The challenge

Do you recognize these challenges?

Strategic work loses out to reporting pressure

Reporting and disclosure tie up most of the capacity. The strategic work (impact roadmap, business case, action planning) keeps slipping down the list.

Requirements keep moving

CSRD Omnibus, CBAM, EUDR, packaging laws, ISSB. Standards shift faster than processes can settle, and the assurance bar keeps rising.

Same data, new formats every time

The same KPIs, packaged into a new template every quarter: CSRD, EcoVadis, CDP, MSCI, SBTi, bank and customer questionnaires. Even after Omnibus relief, banks, insurers and customers will keep asking for structured ESG data.

AI pilot, not AI system

AI initiatives often produce polished text but no auditable logic. Data protection, audit trail and EU AI Act stay unresolved, and most pilots never make it into production.

Solutions

Connected sustainability management

From a solid data foundation through governance to tailored agents. New possibilities and more impact, reliably delivered.

DATA FOUNDATION

Measure your impact

Scattered metrics get structured, checked and collected once, then reused across CSRD, ratings and customer requests.

I sharpen the vision and data requirements, define the consolidation scope, connect measurement systems through interfaces, add audit-ready estimation methods where primary data is missing, and support the rollout of your ESG tool.

GOVERNANCE

Own your impact

Clear ownership and steering make responsibilities tangible, so data stays traceable, consistent and audit-ready.

I build your governance, from the organizational structure through approval and escalation levels, process definitions and onboarding, hand-over and ownership to the control system, and document it in a machine-readable way.

TAILORED AGENTS

Scale your impact

Agents placed on your structure take over recurring tasks. I assess where their leverage is greatest.

Whether in strategy, reporting, controlling, procurement, R&D or operations: a targeted solution for every requirement, prioritized by cost-benefit.

Security

Data protection and confidentiality come first.

What you can count on in our collaboration.

Data stays in your environment

AI runs inside your own EU cloud environment or on-premise, coordinated with your IT team. All providers used carry a contractual no-training guarantee: your data never feeds anyone else's model.

GDPR + EU AI Act

A GDPR Art. 28 data processing agreement is in place before the project starts. Workflows are built around the EU AI Act (fully applicable from August 2026). Read full AI policy →

Audit-ready documentation

Every AI output traces back to the source file. Sources and methodology are visible to auditors, no black box.

About me

Background

I got my start in sustainability management in 2016 as a working student at elobau, a mid-sized sensor manufacturer in Germany's Allgäu region. The team was already experimenting with recycled materials and sustainable product designs, years ahead of the market. When demand for climate-neutral components later picked up, that early work paid off. That entrepreneurial view of sustainability has shaped my work ever since.

After that came Protiviti (sustainability for the financial sector) and four years at Deloitte in Frankfurt and Mexico City, working with sustainability teams across industries from mining to pharmaceuticals. I saw how differently programs can be built and how the hurdles look the same everywhere: unclear mandates, missing resources, no board buy-in, complex production processes. I also saw how they get solved, often creatively.

I've worked independently since 2021, advising medium and large companies in close, confidential collaboration, not as an outside vendor, but as an extension of the team. My bar: quality clients can rely on, and a way of working that's respectful and energizing.

How I work

Method and approach

My method

AI with a small footprint

Small, specialized models instead of frontier LLMs wherever possible. Deployed in cloud regions with a high renewables share, coordinated with your IT team.

Token-based CO₂ tracking per workflow. Cloud usage data flows straight into your Scope 3 reporting.

How I work

Direct access, no junior team behind the scenes

You work directly with me. No rotating consulting team in the background. I think with you, not just tick off tasks. If something doesn't add up, I'll say so.

Plain language, no consulting loops. Practical results, not perfect PowerPoint decks. I reply within 24 hours on weekdays. If I commit to something, it happens.

Where I draw the line

What AI can't replace

AI needs a data foundation, it can't invent one. AI makes mistakes (industry error rates run around 23% today). And AI doesn't replace materiality or strategy decisions.

The division of labor stays clear: AI accelerates, humans decide. I build that split into every workflow.

Handover

Independence after the project ends

Code, prompts and methods belong to you. Standard tools your team can maintain on its own. No consultant lock-in.

After handover, you can carry on alone or bring me back for specific next steps. Either works.
