The firm

We are an independent consulting firm that supports our clients with advisory services and data solutions centred around sustainability and impact. With our expertise, experience, and dedication, we help clients from the private and public sector to understand and act on their impact on society.

For our work we rely on four core competencies:

• Implementation of sustainability and impact in operational processes and strategies;
• Building capacity among (financial) institutions on sustainability;
• Development of software solutions to enable efficient management of sustainability and impact.

Our clients vary from multinationals such as Heineken and Coca-Cola, to financial institutions such as the African Development Bank and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and societal organisations such as the Council for Refugees.

We are headquartered in Amsterdam and have offices in Singapore and Washington DC.

The function
