About us

K2 ESG Partners is a boutique consulting firm supporting companies in ESG reporting, compliance, and practical sustainability transformation. With certified GRI expertise and over 20 years of international experience across human resources, corporate communications, governance, and corporate transformation, we help businesses meet EU regulatory requirements while strengthening trust and competitiveness.

Our work is based on a tailored, company-specific approach — grounded in real data, practices, and context. This ensures credible disclosures, avoids the risks associated with generic or automated reporting, and supports ESG as a long-term, meaningful part of the business's operations.

Why Us


Credible ESG, not automated reporting

As GRI-certified professionals, we work with real data, real practices, and real decisions. Our company-specific approach reduces the risk of greenwashing often associated with generic or automated reporting tools, ensuring disclosures stand up to regulatory and investor scrutiny.

Human and organisational focus

ESG succeeds only when it is embedded into how people work and lead. With decades of experience in HR, governance, and corporate transformation, we help organizations turn ESG requirements into workable, human-centered practices.

European market readiness

We support companies entering or operating in the EU by aligning their sustainability practices with European regulatory, governance, and business expectations — not only on paper, but in everyday operations.

Trusted long-term partnership

We don’t deliver one-off reports and disappear. We support leadership teams over time, helping them navigate regulatory change, internal transformation, and growing stakeholder expectations with confidence.

Our Expertise


ESG disclosure and credibility

Expert guidance on CSRD, ESRS, and GRI disclosures — ensuring clarity, consistency, and justified decisions, including defensible omissions where appropriate.

People, culture, and governance

Deep expertise in workforce sustainability, DEI, well-being, ethical practices, and governance — helping organizations strengthen the Social and Governance pillars in a practical, credible way.

Change and transformation management

Supporting organisations through sustainability-driven change: aligning leadership, updating policies, building internal ownership, and embedding ESG into corporate culture.

Capability building and learning

Training and advisory for leadership and HR teams, helping organizations develop sustainability competencies and confidence — not dependency on external tools or templates.

We are a practical ESG partner for operating in and entering the European market.
