I am an independent sustainability and human rights due diligence (HRDD) specialist with over a decade of experience at the intersection of sustainability, human rights, and international development. My work bridges advising responsible business practice with real-world impact, spanning HRDD development, ESG strategy, CSDDD and EUFLR-aligned reporting, and global stakeholder engagement.My background includes strategic humanitarian project leadership, Nordic ESG management, and academic training in International Relations, supported by a systems-thinking approach to risk and transition planning. Most recently, as Sustainability Due Diligence & Social Impact Manager at OKQ8, I designed and built the Group's first HRDD program and acted as Lead Researcher in an externally funded innovations project focusing on HRDD development within the global battery value chain. The reflections and insights I share are entirely my own, drawn from this professional experience as previously presented in public settings, including a talk at LOOP Copenhagen in April.I now speak independently, sharing practical, evidence-based insights on embedding responsibility into fast-moving, globally interconnected supply chains. My particular focus is on the battery sector's human and environmental risks, and how companies can move from risk-mapping to genuine resilience. A core theme in my current work is that "comply or die" is out: I advocate for Collaborative Contracting as the foundation for supplier engagement, replacing one-way compliance demands with partnership-based approaches to unravelling the value chain and co-developing solutions to human rights hot spots. My aim is to contribute to industry learning and support the development of scalable, credible approaches to responsible energy transitions.
