Sustainability leadership that fits your size, pace, and priorities.
Senior-level expertise, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
“As a marketing director, I’ve often seen sustainability handled in isolation. But with Ana in a fractional role, it became a consistent part of how we made decisions. She didn’t just advise us, she joined the calls, worked across teams, and helped us shape a narrative that reflected the work behind it.”
— T. Bennett, mid-sized beverage manufacturer
What consistent support looks like inside your business
Fractional CSO support is built for food & beverage brands serious about outcomes. Steady, embedded support that strengthens systems, guides decisions, and solves for gaps month after month.
Whether you’re shaping strategy, preparing for disclosure, or strengthening supplier relationships, you get senior expertise that fits your pace, without the overhead.
📌 Senior expertise. Fractional cost.
You get strategic sustainability leadership – without adding a full-time salary to your payroll.
📌 Embedded, not advisory.
I join your calls. Work with your teams. Shape decisions alongside you – not from the sidelines.
📌 Built for real operations.
We implement practical systems. Clear ownership. Nothing that falls apart the moment I step away.
Who this is for?
Mid-sized European F&B brands navigating real operational complexity – changing supplier networks, growing product lines, and increasing pressure to act on sustainability without slowing the business down. This is a good fit if:
You don’t have a full-time sustainability lead, or need senior expertise to support the one you have.
You’re scaling, entering new markets, or preparing for disclosure or audits.
Your business is evolving fast and you need clear priorities that grow with it.
Your sustainability efforts feel fragmented and you’re ready to set strong foundations.
Who this is not for?
You need someone full-time or on-site to manage day-to-day operations
You only need help with a single disclosure or short-term project
Leadership isn’t ready to be involved or adjust how decisions get made
You’re expecting plug-and-play, not a collaborative process
Chosen by European brands ready to lead with clarity
I’ve worked with 150+ companies on making sustainability manageable, strategic, and part of how the business runs day to day.
As a Fractional CSO, I bring that same approach: systems that support real decisions, structured around what actually works for growing companies.
“I highly recommend Ana as an ESG consultant. She has been instrumental in helping us navigate ESG matters by breaking down complex issues into clear, manageable steps.
Ana brought forward great initiatives and, with our full support, took the lead in engaging with our suppliers to ensure alignment. Her proactive approach keeps us moving forward, and her positive attitude and team spirit have been a real asset to our group.”
Héloïse D., Operations Director at an Investment Strategies Group
“We’d been juggling supplier issues, carbon reporting, and internal questions around what ‘sustainability’ really meant for us.
Bringing Ana on as a Fractional CSO gave us steady, senior-level guidance without hiring full-time. She helped us shape a clear roadmap, align our teams, and get the systems in place to manage our KPIs without starting from zero every quarter.”
Paul R., Head of Governance at a snacks manufacturer
“I didn’t want another consultant who’d drop in with big ideas and then disappear. Ana became part of our team.
We worked month to month, focused on what mattered: strategy, disclosures, responsible procurement. She understood how we operate and built the process around that. Communication was clear, goals were realistic. It’s been a real partnership.”
Albert M., Head of Procurement at a manufacturing company

FAQ
1. What exactly is a Fractional CSO?
A Fractional Chief Sustainability Officer is a senior advisor who works with your team part-time, providing the leadership, clarity, and structure you’d expect from a full-time hire, without the overhead or long-term commitment.
2. What exactly do we get month-to-month?
A fixed number of support days tailored to your tier, plus direct access to me via email and scheduled check-ins. Depending on your focus, we might review supplier policies, structure your impact report, prepare for audits, or map emissions. The work is scoped together and evolves as your needs shift.
3. How do we know what is the right tier for us?
Start by asking what success looks like 6–12 months from now. Are you looking to submit a report, prep for investor conversations, or set carbon targets? If you’re not sure, that’s normal – a short call can help match your needs to the right level of support, without overcommitting.
4. How is this different from hiring a consultant?
Instead of handing over a plan and stepping out, a Fractional CSO works alongside your team. You get steady, senior-level support across strategy, reporting, and implementation, shaped by how your business actually runs.
5. Why not just hire someone full-time?
You can, if your business is ready for it. Many F&B brands don’t have the workload, budget, or clarity to bring on a full-time CSO. This gives you senior-level expertise without the salary, onboarding, and training overhead of a permanent hire.
6. Can we customise what’s included?
Yes. Each tier has a set structure, but add-ons are available, from Scope 3 diagnostics to supplier workshops or leadership briefings. If you have specific gaps to fill, we can tailor support without you having to upgrade unnecessarily.
