My commitment to a more sustainable, ethical, and environmental responsible approach to fashion and textiles means that we not only do less bad and eliminate the worst practices but become regenerative and just as a sector. This might be a step too big to take at once while companies are busy implementing new regulations, managing compliance risks and the use of standards and logos - to secure their business. You have heard this a lot?
After 30 years of industry experience, half of it in sustainability in fashion and 10 years as a consultant for brands, producers and NGOs, I can say that with the right strategy partners, collaboration and the will to innovate, transformation is possible.
I work on
- supply chain integration and circularity, supplier mapping and traceability
- building know-how in teams so more sustainable choices can become part of an innovation strategy and business success
- consulting on looking at fiber and materials holistically, with individual product solutions and customers in mind
- projects that turn waste into products. Products that can stay in the value chain without harming people and planet
- trainings on standards and certification, product labeling and compliance, e.g. ESRS reporting
- stakeholder management and -events, facilitation of workshops and strategy setting
Each project is unique, the mission remains the same. That is what I love doing.
NEW: ESG Reporting (in collaboration with itfits, Katharina Schaus):
In accordance with the current Green Deal regulations, we develop targeted, tailor-made solutions for our industry - especially for SMEs that are not yet subject to the requirements of the CSRD. There are many good reasons to start today.
ESG reporting can be a strategic tool and a decisive competitive advantage.
Our individually customizable modules, always starting with a well-founded assessment of your company's starting position:
• Sustainability report and integration: We prepare your sustainability report and support you in integrating it into your company's annual report.
• Comprehensive project coordination: We accompany you through the entire ESG reporting process - from the assessment of your status-quo to the finished sustainability report.
• Optimization of the reporting process: We analyze your processes together, identify potential for change and support you in the process development and documentation for the ESG reporting process.
• GAP analysis and double materiality assessment: Together we identify possible gaps for your ESG reporting and take into account environmental management systems that have already been implemented. In the materiality assessment, we identify key topics that are crucial for your company from both a financial and an impact perspective.
• Goals and measures: Together we develop concrete goals and measures for your sustainability strategy, define key figures and clarify responsibilities.
• Data collection: We support you in identifying relevant data and making well-founded decisions for targeted collection, recording and evaluation.
Why working with us?
We come from the textile industry. We approach the relevant topics strategically with you and offer you safe navigation so that you do not get bogged down - in the truest sense of the word. You will perform better and have less effort in future reporting obligations.
We are coaches. We take teams with us because reporting is a shared task. No matter where you are, what we can already build on, we provide targeted support to teams or bring together the work of departments and build up know-how.
We see our actions holistically. We help you put data into context, for example for your supplier management.
We want added value for you and recognize your situation. A pragmatic solution according to VSME (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for non-listed SMEs) specifically for small and medium-sized companies can also be the right first step.
With our modular approach, you meet the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and at the same time strengthen your market position. Together we can make your company more attractive to current and potential new customers.
