In 2021, I received the BCSDH Women Leaders Award for “achieving results with innovative development solutions and leading my teams to success.” In addition to my expert role, continuous development of my leadership skills is a priority for me.

I was responsible for preparing Hungary’s first sustainability report, was a member of the GRI Stakeholder Council, and as a GRI-certified trainer contributed to the training of over 120 professionals alongside Mandy Fertetics under the Alternate name.

I spent more than 10 years as EHS Manager at Grundfos Hungary before moving into a global role, and I currently serve as Global Head of Sustainable Finance at Grundfos.

At Alternate, I now participate as a silent partner and only occasionally teach or contribute to very few projects.

I earned my Master’s degree in Resource and Environmental Management at BME, studied urban development in the Netherlands, volunteered in climate-friendly municipal programs, and in 2023 obtained my Certified Sustainability Manager qualification. I also gained experience in multinational corporations in business development, client relations, reporting, and team leadership, which gave me firsthand insight into how organizations operate internally and how sustainability can be integrated.

As a sustainability consultant at Alternate, I have found my calling – combining my work experience with the values I believe in. I am primarily responsible for sustainability reporting and sustainable procurement, while also managing projects and client relations. Today, I do work where my professional expertise and personal values not only coexist but strengthen one another.

I was immediately drawn to this – at the time – bold and innovative (economic) approach, which suggests that things can be done differently, that growth and value creation can be approached from alternative perspectives. I enjoy looking at issues from multiple perspectives, in cases questioning the status quo, and stepping outside established frameworks. For me, sustainable development as an alternative socio-economic model is a very inspiring field, which offers many opportunities for creativity and innovation. 

Ultimately, I began my career in sustainability consulting in 2007. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to support numerous large corporations across various industries in developing their sustainability strategies and implementing their programs. I have significant experience in sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, and dialogue projects, as well as in the development of corporate communication content related to sustainability. 

In the second half of my career, I returned to the fields of PR communication and marketing, and I gained experience at international headquarters of multinational companies. 

As a result, I now have extensive professional experience in both sustainability and marketing communications, enabling me to support my clients as a consultant with comprehensive and integrated knowledge. 

I believe that sustainability is not just about compliance, but about creating both business and societal value. For me, “green” is not a color, but a way of thinking and decision-making. 

In my work, I support the development of ESG strategies, sustainability reporting, and supplier due diligence processes. I consider stakeholder engagement and measurable impact to be essential elements of effective sustainability practices. 

I completed my studies in marketing, which I have complemented with specialized sustainability training (Corvinus University of Budapest – LCA; University of Public Service – ESG advisor). 

During my geography studies, I learned a lot about sustainability but had limited opportunities to approach the topic from a corporate perspective. I believe corporate efforts toward sustainability will be one of the key issues of the 21st century, and I want to contribute to these efforts to the best of my ability.At Alternate, I participate in various consulting projects, such as preparing double materiality benchmark analyses, updating sustainability reports, and liaising with clients’ supplier networks.

I consider community awareness-raising important — I have organized local events as part of the national “TeSzedd” litter collection initiative and sustainability challenges. Our research on micromobility and energy poverty, in which I was actively involved, received professional recognition.

I am particularly interested in international and intercultural relations, which I have experience through my studies in Sweden, my exchange semester in Portugal, and summer work experience in the United States. These experiences have helped me develop a more open mindset and the ability to think from multiple perspectives, which I consider essential in the field of sustainability. 

At Alternate, I work as a sustainability intern, where I contribute to supporting consulting projects, updating sustainability reports, and maintaining contact with clients’ supplier networks. 

I believe that achieving real change in the field of sustainability requires a well-designed regulatory and legal framework, especially in areas where the interests of future generations and society as a whole are at stake. My goal is to use legal tools to support processes that promote responsible practices at both individual and corporate levels.

I am motivated to contribute to a shift towards more conscious decision-making, both in everyday life and in business activities, and to help ensure that sustainability becomes not just a principle, but a practical foundation for operations. At Alternate, I work as a sustainability intern, supporting consulting projects and contributing to the preparation of sustainability reports, as well as training and awareness-raising materials.
