Ensures data-driven CSRD reporting and sustainable business development
An interim sustainability controller serves as the link between ambitious ESG goals and day-to-day operations. When CSRD requirements are putting pressure on timelines or the company’s first sustainability report is due, you need a specialist who can step in immediately, gather the right key metrics from across the value chain, and turn that data into clear decisions.

A reliable interim solution
Fast and accurate matching
Following a needs analysis, we develop a requirements profile that covers data platforms, reporting timelines, industry-specific key performance indicators, and organizational culture. With our AI support, we assess CSRD credentials, experience with dual materiality analysis, and the ability to drive change in complex organizations. The result is a shortlist that, upon initial review, matches over 90 percent of the desired competencies and candidate profile.
Transparent 80/20 model
In addition to the 80/20 breakdown, you’ll receive a cost breakdown for each milestone. Data mapping, gap analysis, workshops, and the final report are itemized so that the budget can be allocated in advance and tracked on a sprint-by-sprint basis. The level of transparency is higher than in traditional approaches.
Lasting value – not just a report package
The consultant will set up a train-the-trainer program in which internal superusers validate data, run scenarios, and update ESG dashboards. You will also receive a ready-made roadmap for the next cycle, including indicators for gender equality, biodiversity, and Scope 3. This will enable you to address future requirements in a timely manner.

Benefits of an interim sustainability controller
A comprehensive CSRD roadmap and reduced reporting burden
The work is divided into sprints for data mapping, materiality, control systems, and reporting. Responsibility matrices clarify who delivers what and when. Stress related to the audit decreases, and the board can view the status in real time.
Real-time financial impact
Sustainability KPIs are linked to ERP and BI systems. Management can see how energy efficiency initiatives impact EBITDA and how improved supplier screening reduces the risk premium in bank financing. Investments can be prioritized where returns are high.
Greater engagement and brand equity
Idea platforms and internal hackathons generate suggestions that lead to actions such as reducing material waste or launching social initiatives in the supply chain. As results become apparent, pride in the company grows, employee turnover decreases, and the employer brand is strengthened.
The recruitment process
Our recruitment process is fast, streamlined, and tailored to your needs. We ensure you find the right candidate quickly through a clear job description and an efficient screening process.
What does it take to be a successful sustainability controller?
System expertise and data quality
API feeds are set up for energy and material data from production. The data is matched against purchase orders and exported as validated datasets to reporting tools in just a few steps.
Knowledge of regulations and industry insight
The CSRD, the EU Taxonomy, and the CSDDD impact financing and supplier agreements. By maintaining a holistic view, reporting and strategy remain aligned, and potential conflicts are avoided.
Communicative Leadership and the Power to Drive Change
Facts are presented clearly and linked to business value. Dialogue with management and operational units bridges the gap between goals and implementation, ensuring that the organization treats sustainability as a core part of its business.
