Align your team on sustainability priorities – without weeks of meetings.
This in-person workshop helps F&B brands identify which sustainability topics actually matter. You’ll walk away with clear priorities and the reasoning to back them up.
I’m a GRI Certified Professional (2024) and trained IBM Co-Creator in Design Thinking for Sustainability (2025). These frameworks shape how I run the session: grounded in credible standards, built for real teams.
Why most materiality assessments don’t deliver?
Many companies start with the right intentions and still come out unclear. Not because they did it wrong, but because the process wasn’t designed to create clarity.
If you’ve been through one before, you might recognise this:
📌 Too generic to be useful
You get a list of common sustainability topics, but no connection to how your business actually works or what you’re navigating next.
📌 Outcomes don’t drive decisions
You receive a matrix or a long report, but it doesn’t tell you what to act on or why. Without shared ownership, the results stay on paper.
📌 Too slow to build momentum
Weeks of surveys, interviews, long reviews, and after all that, still unclear what to do next. Too much time spent without real traction.
It doesn’t have to be this complicated. A well-structured session gives people a shared language to make real decisions, together.
A workshop to decide what matters, and why
This is a focused day of structured collaboration. You’ll work through key sustainability topics with the right people in the room and leave with shared priorities your team understands and is ready to act on.
📌 You decide what’s in scope
We start from a longlist, but what gets prioritised depends on your context, your pressures, and your values.
📌 You hear perspectives you’d otherwise miss
You can include a couple of external voices – a supplier, partner, or researcher. They offer input without driving the session.
📌 You leave with decisions
Operations, marketing, HR, supply chain – the people responsible for making sustainability work are in the room. That means no approval loops after.
Best fit if…
F&B brand, 25–500 employees
You want structure and clarity, not another strategy cycle
You’re willing to bring people together across roles
You’ve had internal conversations about sustainability, but haven’t landed on priorities
You’ve postponed this decision because it felt too abstract or time-consuming
Not the right fit if…
You need a deliverable for a regulator or investor, regardless of internal alignment
You want someone to do your materiality for you, start to finish
You can’t get cross-functional participation in the room
You’re looking for training, not a working session
Who’s leading the session
I’ve spent the last decade helping mid-sized European brands navigate complex sustainability questions – from materiality to supplier screening to certification. I’m a GRI Certified Professional (2024) and IBM Design Thinking practitioner (2025). But more than that, I know how decisions actually get made in companies like yours.
This workshop reflects how I work: structured, collaborative, grounded in your reality. No one-size-fits-all answers – just a process that helps teams navigate complexity and walk away with clarity they can use.

Support that builds on what you’ve started
Not every team is starting from scratch. Maybe you’ve done a materiality assessment before, or have a draft that doesn’t quite reflect your business. This workshop meets you where you are. With it, you’re investing in:
⤷ Decision-making grounded in ESRS and GRI standards
⤷ Weeks of back-and-forth compressed into a day
⤷ A process your team will actually use
⤷ Facilitation that ends with decisions
Each service builds on the one before it. Start where it makes sense for your team and if you’re unsure, I’ll help you find the right fit.

FAQ
1. Do we need a sustainability strategy already?
No. This workshop is often the starting point. It helps your team align on what matters most so you can focus where it counts. If you already have a strategy, it’s a chance to test it against evolving expectations.
2. Is this aligned with ESRS and double materiality?
Yes. The process meets ESRS 2 IRO-1 and IRO-2 disclosure requirements. It covers impact and financial materiality, follows a clear methodology, and documents your approach – so you’re not backfilling explanations months later.
3. What happens after the workshop?
You leave with a prioritised list of material topics, clear rationale for each, and a methodology that supports CSRD or GRI disclosures. From there, I can help you turn outcomes into action – targets, supplier engagement, strategy, or certification work.
4. Who should be in the room?
Internal decision-makers with visibility across operations, compliance, sourcing, and comms. I’ll also help you include 2–5 external stakeholders – suppliers, advisors, or local NGOs – so your process meets expectations for meaningful input.
5. We ran a materiality assessment a few years ago. Do we need this?
Probably. Materiality isn’t one-and-done. It should be revisited every 2–3 years – sooner if your business, stakeholder expectations, or regulatory landscape has changed. This workshop helps you pressure-test what’s changed and what needs to move up the list.
6. Can this be done remotely?
I’ve tested it – but in-person works best. This is one of the few sessions where being in the same room actually saves time. If you’re exploring remote, I’m happy to talk through what would work.
