About us
Maria Orbant
I'm a senior sustainability and ESG risk professional with 13+ years of in-house experience at multinational corporates and finance institutions, now providing external expertise.
​
For over a decade, I've been part of deal and project teams, responsible for assessing ESG risks in complex transactions and led sustainability strategy and implementation for global energy and manufacturing businesses. I've led ESG due diligence on billion-dollar deals, developed decarbonization and circularity roadmaps for global manufacturers, embedded sustainability into renewable energy projects, and prepared organizations for regulatory and international standards compliance.
​
Today, I bring this in-house expertise to clients who need practical, credible sustainability support without building a full-time team - from ESG screening and due diligence to strategy development, regulatory readiness, and implementation.
​
Why is it "Us" and not "Me"?
I'm a highly collaborative professional who has worked globally with people across industries. I have built a network of incredible experts whom I collaborate with to deliver the best fit-for-purpose service to my clients.
