Partner in sustainable and responsible transformation
Nearly 20 years, more than 200 successful assignments, 50+ sustainability reports, and training of over 500 sustainability professionals – all through our domestic and international client base. Numerous industries, company sizes and sectors – we’ve sat on every side of the table, through this the ability to integrate most stakeholder views.
The foundations of our efficiency: a holistic approach, iterative and process-based collaboration, organic organizational development, pragmatic mindset, and practice-oriented solutions. Let’s rethink together why, what, and how we do.
Commitment to progressive values and high ethical standards, consistency, high professional quality, honesty, openness, reliability and critical thinking.
Tailored support for leaders and professionals appointed to be responsible for sustainability and ESG. We act as your partner along the way — sometimes giving momentum, sometimes providing external expertise, benchmarking ideas, a helping hand, or a critical eye — always based on your needs. Let’s plan the year together and become that quasi “internal support” you receive from the outside. For the appointed ESG lead, we provide “on-the-job training,” professional mentoring, coaching, and team membership all in one.
Management teams rarely have weeks or months to absorb sustainability and ESG knowledge, understand the challenges, and learn about possible solutions. Our half-day (4-hour) Executive Alignment Workshop condenses 20 years of expertise and experience, tailored to your company’s activities, size, and culture. It identifies the most important actions, maps out strengths, and highlights opportunities — honestly, without taboos. If needed, we can add gamified exercises and turn it into a full-day program.
A sound ESG strategy starts with a clear understanding of the current state. We provide a comprehensive picture of where your organization stands on the sustainability/ESG maturity scale. Through belief audits, on-site audits, and gap analyses, we evaluate your status against chosen standards (legal requirements, EcoVadis, ESRS, GRI, buyer codes of conduct, voluntary industry commitments, or our own ESG/DEIB maturity model). We benchmark results against competitors or customer expectations, identifying urgent tasks, opportunities, and areas for differentiation.
Real change begins with knowledge-sharing and continues through continuous learning.Our training sessions, professional education, and leadership workshops are customized both in methodology and content to meet client needs. We believe that timely organizational response to sustainability challenges depends on knowledge, skill-building, capacity development, motivation, and empowerment. Our programs help leaders, professionals, and employees feel confident in carrying out their tasks and taking responsibility.
A well-built sustainability strategy not only reacts to the regulatory and market expectations,but also creates real business opportunity. From the customization of the materiality analysis all the way to the implementation we help to identify the important topics and issues for the company. We support the creation of a pragmatic strategic framework that supports internal and external communication. We help the determination of ambition levels and, taking into account the organization’s capacities, the setting of realistic goals. We participate in the development of action plans. According to our mission, we are even partners in the creation of an issue-based business model (e.g. B Corp or social enterprise model). The point is that, armed with solution plans, the organization can set off credibly toward motivation and ambitious goals.
The achievement of sustainability goals is supported by reliable measurement and monitoring. We help the definition, elaboration, and introduction of performance indicators and key indicators, so that the organization can effectively follow its own progress. We help to establish the data collection and validation systems, to build the performance management processes, and we support the preparation of the topic and data owners, and, if needed, by preparing guidelines we make the monitoring tasks smoother. If necessary, we help with the selection and introduction of the appropriate software as well, so that the handling of sustainability data may be easy and transparent, and we provide professional support in the audit processes.
Identifying and managing negative impacts and risks is not just a legal obligation but a vital interest for any organization. We help identify and evaluate risks, develop preventive and mitigating measures, and build them into your system. We support the development of effective grievance and whistleblowing mechanisms, integrate self- and external assessment methods, and foster stakeholder dialogue to make the process both efficient and impactful.
Sustainability and ESG reports are visible proof of commitment and should create real value. We act as mentors, expert partners, or implementers, helping develop or improve reporting practices. We approach reporting as a tool — not an end goal — and ensure that it provides management and communication benefits.
The truly innovative and effective organizations are open to the different points of view and values, draw advantage from the differences, that is, the development of diversity and inclusivity is of strategic importance for them. At the same time, it is an ESG expectation, a legal obligation, and also our fairness task. During our DEIB maturity assessment we help to determine a company’s current status and its developmental tasks and opportunities, in the creation of a DEIB strategy we professionally support the company if it is ready to grasp it on a strategic and management level. Our focused trainings, programs, and services at the same time help even in smaller steps to set out in the direction of creating an inclusive workplace.
The sustainability of the supply chain is a determining factor in the long-term success and responsible operation of companies. In the course of our service, we map the sustainability and ESG risks of the supply chain and develop the sustainability criteria system. We help prepare the organization for compliance with regulatory requirements and reporting obligations. We provide professional support or, within the framework of outsourcing, fully manage the development, introduction, and operation of the sustainable procurement system. Our goal is that, in addition to ensuring business continuity and serving customer sustainability ambitions, the sustainable performance of the supply chain improves, the suppliers develop, the risks decrease, and, during sustainable procurement decisions, the most optimal sustainability options are selected.
The key to an effective sustainability process is the conscious identification and targeted involvement of stakeholders. We prepare stakeholder maps that help to understand who the most important actors are and how it is worth involving them.
Part of our portfolio is the mapping of engagement methods and the creation of customized strategies, with the involvement of thematic or specific stakeholder groups – whether it is about research, panels, or joint actions. We support organizations in the preparation of awards and tenders, in the organization of public forums, as well as in the promotion of corporate social responsibility programs and volunteering, so that engagement creates value at every level.
At a pre-arranged time, there is a possibility for a personal or online consultation, so that we can answer your current questions related to sustainability and help choose a direction, where and how you take the next step in your current challenge.
We receive invitations to numerous professional conferences, corporate events, or events of professional associations, to give lectures or to moderate panel discussions. Our professional knowledge, experience, and presentation skills are an excellent combination so that what we say is both useful and interesting. Since we have sat on several sides of the table, one of our great advantages is that we can look at the given dilemma through many kinds of stakeholder lenses, and thus we have already moderated interesting and at the same time useful panel discussions in numerous topics. Those who work with us put in more with just an hour of preparation, and in exchange the audience and participants can take away something extra from an interactive, practical, enjoyable discussion.
Some events where you could have met us:
Fortunately, sustainability and ESG are becoming an increasingly integral part of university bachelor, MBA, and executive MBA education. As guest lecturers, course leaders, and course developers we participate in numerous courses, so that sustainability knowledge and mindset may be integrated into as many professions and hierarchy levels as possible.
Resilient, adaptive, sustainable, and responsible organizations are operated by healthy, effective, and impactful teams. Whether it is a leadership team, a functional area, or a project team — if there is a common goal and there is a need for every member of the team, it is already worth dealing with the cooperation. With the help of a transformative team coaching process, we support and strengthen the team’s long-term abilities and skills, so that it will be capable of solving arising challenges from its own resources. Through bringing to the surface and making conscious the unconscious values, norms, and modes of operation, the team becomes capable of renewal and redefinition for the purpose of developing its performance capacity.
We are convinced that for the building of sustainable, inclusive, fair, and ecologically conscious communities and societies, the development of individual self-awareness is indispensable. Reflection on ourselves, increasing awareness, and facing things without taboos can help in recognizing and dismantling those beliefs, blockers, and resistances that hinder both sustainability and well-being. Among others, with the following services we can support employee well-being programs either individually or even within the framework of formal Employee Assistance Programs, possibly with the involvement of our external partners:
The #IamRemarkable global movement, whose goal is that everyone may worthily celebrate their individual successes. Volunteer trainers hold 90–105 minute workshops about self-promotion, either in person or online, in different languages. The aim of the program is that participants get to know the importance of self-marketing in personal and professional life, and also receive tools for the development of this skill. Since for disadvantaged people, individuals coming from socially sensitive groups, this is even more difficult, the movement at the same time also serves the building of inclusive workplaces, equal opportunity, and inclusive societies and communities. Mandy Fertetics is an official #IamRemarkable trainer.
