Grace Achieng
@graceachieng1
I build sustainability, communications, and brand strategies grounded in research and data.
What I'm looking for
I've led brand, project, and sustainability work through Gracelandic EHF, managing marketing campaigns, website development, market research, CSR strategy, and Life Cycle Assessments.
My work combines sustainability reporting and environmental analysis with practical communications: I analyse complex datasets, produce stakeholder documentation, track KPIs, and turn research into actionable insights.
At Advania, I supported CSRD and EU Taxonomy reporting, materiality assessments, ESG risk analysis, supplier reviews, and ISO 14001 compliance. I've also represented FKA internationally, coordinated high-level collaborations, and delivered events and initiatives advancing women's leadership and gender equality.
