What we do

We specialise in developing and implementing sustainability strategies in the areas of biodiversity, circularity, and climate change. We are experienced in navigating the organisational change that's often required to embed sustainability into strategy and operations. We also lead complex multi-stakeholder programs with a strong focus on ecosystem restoration.​ Below you'll find a selection of our recent projects. 

Stedin - Interim ESG manager

In 2023, Daan Helming joined Dutch grid operator Stedin as interim sustainability manager, following earlier work as project lead for the biodiversity strategy. Together with internal teams, Daan worked to embed ESG thinking more deeply across the organization, align ambitions, and support long-term strategic development in the sustainability domain.

KPN - CSR Strategy

KPN has set clear sustainability goals, including becoming net zero by 2040 and transitioning toward circular operations. We worked alongside the sustainability team to translate these ambitions into a strategic roadmap. Together, we designed a transformation program for executive leadership, turning long-term goals into actionable pathways.

KPN - Green Fiber Hub

We teamed up with KPN and Naturalis to bring to life the Netherlands' first nature-inclusive fiber-optic hub. This collaborative project explored what nature-inclusive design means in practice, resulting in a functioning hub that supports local biodiversity and serves as an inspiring blueprint for other utility buildings.

Alliander - Biodiversity Strategy

With Alliander, we co-developed a comprehensive biodiversity strategy aligned with its broader sustainability ambitions. Together, we defined targets, timelines, and governance structures, and ensured alignment with CSRD (ESRS E4) requirements. The result is a practical roadmap that turns ecological intent into everyday action.

One Acre Fund - Carbon SPV

We supported the set-up of a SPV (foundation) that to channel carbon credit revenues from agroforestry projects in East Africa to smallholder farmers. The foundation sits between carbon credit buyers and implementing organisations, ensuring financial flows are transparent, legally ring-fenced, and mission-aligned.

Alliander - CO2 Governance

As Alliander explored how to meet future climate regulations and align with SBTi, we worked together to design a new governance approach for CO₂ and climate policy. Our collaboration resulted in a CSRD-proof transition plan that clarifies roles, structures, and decision-making pathways — ready to be implemented within the organization.

Alliander - Biodiversity KPIs

Together with Alliander we developed a set of KPIs and governance frameworks and processes to monitor, measure and manage biodiversity impact as one of the main strategic ESG subjects. The goal was to create a transparent governance framework that would allow Alliander to include the subject in ESG reporting.
