Meet the Team

YouSustain - a different sustainability consultancy

Since its infancy, the world of sustainability consulting has been riddled with gatekeeping, mind-boggling hour estimates, and a general lack of transparency. And we get it, it is a good business model. 

But it is not our business model. 

YouSustain Group AS was founded in Oslo, Norway, in 2023. In light of ever-increasing legal requirements and stakeholder expectations, our mission is to help fill the knowledge gap in corporate sustainability reporting - a ''teach a man to fish'' approach, if you will.

We do this in two ways:

By helping companies increase their internal capabilities and by up-skilling students and professionals.
