We are dedicated to helping Swedish SMEs start and set sustainable business goals. As Sustainability Coach, we have divided the sustainability work into five steps. We help set up an action plan and offer support and pep talks along the way.

Sustainability communication strengthens the brand

Sustainable companies build strong relationships with customers and stakeholders alike. With storytelling, you convey your true purpose and your why. What drives you, what you strive to achieve, and how you solve problems. Everything that characterizes your brand.

We help companies communicate their sustainability work in Swedish and English. For storytelling, a storyboard is created, comprising of a description of the company, vision, brand, values, morals, tone of voice, themes, key scenes etc, and is used for creating different stories.

Sustainability Coach

What is the point of trying to do the right thing when it’s just a drop in the ocean? But infinite drops are created to form an ocean when we all work together.

Throughout my professional life, I have worked with communication. The clients are companies of all sizes in a variety of industries. It has given me a deeper understanding of different organizations’ challenges and opportunities.

As a copywriter and marketing specialist, I am accustomed to seeing things in a larger context and quickly getting acquainted with business ideas, products and services. Depending on the channel and message, I write commercially and editorially and adapt texts to the recipients.

EDUCATION: Copywriter (Berghs School of Communication), journalist (Poppius Journalist School), and a wide range of further education in communication. Certified Business 4SDGs Change Leader in sustainability according to Agenda 2030 (VATI Academy), Coaching leadership (Coach2Coach Academy), and several courses in entrepreneurship, business development, sustainability, and circular economy (Coompanion, VATI Academy, CirEko Academy, Affärskompetens etc). I continue to immerse myself in the area of sustainable enterprising and communication.
