Senior environmental expert, partner
Every action we take inevitably has a direct and/or indirect impact on our surroundings. To understand the nature, magnitude, and significance of these impacts to an organization as well as on the broader environment/society, it is necessary to measure and analyze the potential impacts and set them into appropriate context. Consequently, at Sustinere, I have focused my activities on analyzing the impacts, risks, and opportunities that arise from an organization’s business activity. I assist our clients in identifying and quantifying environmental impacts, mapping possible activities to reduce negative impacts and help setting short-and long-term targets.
Thus, I have mainly been working on projects that focus on:
- Calculating carbon footprints (at organizational and product level)
- Developing roadmaps to climate neutrality
- Setting greenhouse gas emission reduction targets (also submissions for Science Based Targets initiative framework)
- Analyzing climate risks (physical and transition risks)
- Conducting environmental analyses for an organization’s sustainability strategy
- And other environmental analyses
Additionally, my role includes ensuring that Sustinere's environmental services are kept up-to-date and carried out with a high-quality (e.g. applying recognized methodologies) and with a knowledge-based approach and knowledge-based approach, thereby producing represenatitive results that create significant value for our clients.
I obtained my environmental education from the University of Tartu's environmental technology curriculum, where I also received a PhD. Prior to joining Sustinere, I worked as a research scientist at the University of Tartu, implementing various environmental-focused projects.
