Twenty years in sustainability, most of them building Edge Impact into a global firm of 100+ people across four countries, now part of RSK Group. I work with boards and leaders on the calls where the claim has to hold up.
I can pressure-test a growth plan with a CEO, then sit with the LCA team and check the numbers.
Real sustainability is built into the strategy and the business case rather than run out of a task force. Get the foundations right and decarbonisation, circular economy, and supply chain resilience stop being projects and start being how the company runs.
How I think about this →The ways I work with boards and leaders are all built on the same thing: independent judgement, and claims that hold up under scrutiny.
The two-week review is the way in. A fixed scope, a fixed fee, and a clear read your board or leadership team can act on. It is also the simplest way to see how I work before anything larger.
See the two-week reviewIndependent technical review across carbon, life cycle assessment, and product transparency. I'm an approved EPD verifier, lead verifier on around 50 Environmental Product Declarations across 16 manufacturers, and I've built EPDs for more than 30 others.
Standing access to senior judgement on the decisions in front of you, complementary to the delivery teams you already have.
You get governance and climate-risk oversight from someone who has built and exited a company and still reads the technical detail. I help boards govern purpose and impact as part of the strategy and the business case, not a side project that stalls when budgets tighten.
Recommendations from people who built Edge Impact alongside me, from the executive team and the board.
"Jonas co-founded Edge Impact in Australia in 2008 and led it to remarkable growth for over 15 years, while developing, fostering, and maintaining an outstanding organizational culture. Jonas' vision and passion for a more sustainable world, his deep expertise in technical sustainability, as well as his character and integrity, are exemplary and of the absolute highest order."
"Jonas is one of the smartest people I've had the pleasure to work with. Quietly brilliant, he has consistently blended deep thinking, practical know how and a can do spirit to make an impact on our planet."
"His technical knowledge is outstanding, but it's his commitment to innovation and impact that really stand out. Most importantly, though, he's someone that is trustworthy and trusting, providing his team with the vision he wants to realise and allowing others to find their own way of making those things happen."
"Loving the work that Jonas is doing at the moment, making sure the circular bio-economy and the sustainable world we need happens. One of the godfathers of sustainability. Having watched him over the last 10 years I'm glad we are in his hands."
I've never met a founder who described growing a business as easy or linear. Most get ten things wrong, constantly experimenting and adapting, for every win. These are a selection of my operating principles, most of them gained from what was hard, not from where I could line up homeruns.
