At Heimstaden Group Norway AS, I collected, analyzed, and reported sustainability data across 9 countries and 160,000 real estate units, supporting CSRD implementation and reporting against GRI, CDP, SBTi, and Green Bond requirements. I also monitored environmental KPIs, including energy, emissions, water, and waste, using Position Green and Mestro.

At Empower AS, I supported development of a plastic waste tracking and offsetting platform and advised client companies on sustainability strategy and ESG implementation. Earlier, at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), I developed and delivered projects focused on reducing food loss and waste.
