Built from the inside
of real supply chains

My work has always been inside real supply chains — factories, certificates, documents, audits and buyers. Not consulting from the outside. Embedded in the work, side by side with the teams trying to find solutions.

Over the last 20+ years, I worked directly with brands and suppliers navigating GRS, RWS, GOTS, missing documentation and audit pressure, often under strict buyer deadlines.

That experience shaped Green Label Talks: a scope-first, audit-driven approach designed to hold up when claims are questioned.

Turning sustainability
from intention into systems

01
Certification scope clarity

Clear interpretation of what you are actually allowed to claim — based on real certification scope documents, not assumptions. GRS, GOTS, RWS and beyond.

02
Audit-ready documentation

Practical internal systems — policies, management manuals, traceability files — built to withstand buyer and auditor review, not just look complete.

03
Supplier verification

Structured checks across Europe and Asia to ensure scope certificates and transaction certificates actually align with what you are selling.

B2B service

For brands under buyer and auditor scrutiny

  • Fashion and textile companies with compliance leads or sustainability managers
  • Brands navigating buyer requirements — Zalando, H&M, ASOS sustainability policies
  • Companies preparing for EU Green Claims Directive compliance
  • Teams where claims must be provable, not aspirational
The One Certificate™

For small brand founders starting out

  • Solo founders and very small teams building sustainable fashion brands
  • Brands that outsource production and sell under their own label
  • Founders who want to certify one product — not their whole brand
  • Anyone who's been told GRS is too expensive or too complex
You don't need chaos to be credible. You don't need perfection to get started.
