I am a curious and committed corporate sustainability professional with several years of experience from corporate sustainability management and sustainability reporting.Currently, I work as a Sustainability Consultant (Manager) at KPMG, where I lead and participate in sustainability projects related to, e.g. the circular economy, strategic sustainability, human rights management, and sustainability reporting (including CSRD, GRI). I am Finland’s first certified implementation partner of the WBCSD’s Circular Transition Indicators -framework (as of April 2023), and a member of KPMG ESG EMA Hub’s Circularity Core Team.Prior to KPMG, I worked at the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, an internationally-acknowledged thought leader on the circular economy topics. There, I focused on advocating the implementation of circular business models and fair transition in policy-making and across companies and the society. I led and participated in several research initiatives, pilot projects, and political advocacy campaigns. Furthermore, I have worked at the Finnish CSR Network FIBS (representing the WBCSD in Finland). There, I supported the network’s over 300 member companies develop their strategic sustainability and carry out a just transition towards the Net-Zero.
