Why we exist
Why we do it differently
1
No gatekeeping
Much of our sector runs on gatekeeping, vague hour estimates and low transparency. It is a good business model. It is not ours.
2
Built for your team
We help companies build their own capability in sustainability reporting, so the knowledge stays with you.
3
Open to everyone
Through YouSustainAcademy we upskill students and professionals. YouSustain Group AS was founded in Oslo in 2023.

2
The pressures
Where reporting pressures in Norway and the EU come from, how public bodies, banks and investors pass them on, and how companies respond.
