Sustainability Strategy & Transformation
Accelerating your journey to net-positive while creating business value
Who we are
At SparkOptimus, our passion lies in transforming disruptions into catalysts for positive change. During our early days in 2010, the digital wave surged as the primary disruptor that required businesses to reshape their core operations. Today, we recognize a new imperative: the necessity to pivot towards net-positive. Our unparalleled expertise in transforming global enterprises to navigate disruptions spans over the past decade. Collaborating with industry leaders like Henkel, Eneco, PGGM, and Schneider Electric, we've created strategies to transform sustainability-driven disruption into an accelerator for positive value creation.
Whether it’s navigating a digital transformation or accelerating your journey towards net-positive, our approach remains unchanged. We demystify the new rules of the game, shape a compelling vision & strategy, break this down into concrete initiatives, and then set-up the right structures, tools, and processes to drive this change. Throughout our approach we recognize that any transformation is 80% 'people' change: shaping new roles, processes & ways of ways working, cultivating awareness, rallying the willing, setting measurable milestones, initiating incremental steps, celebrating tangible victories – these are the elements that in the end determine the success of any business transformation.

Tailoring our support to each client's journey stage, we guide them in driving their materiality assessment from a business-first angle, bridge the gap between business & accountants, establishing necessary organizational structures & tools, and fostering change through on-the-ground capability building.
