Freelance Sustainability Consultant Success Stories: Examples from Dazzle

Here at Dazzle, we aim to dazzle! 

So the fact that we have so many client success stories on our hands really is no surprise to us. Many of these success stories involve our freelance sustainability consultants. 

Freelance sustainability consultants are independent experts who can help you achieve your sustainability goals. And they have been exploding in popularity lately due to the many advantages they deliver. 

The Dazzle platform just happens to offer the best freelance sustainability consultants in the world!

From the examples below, you can probably see why they’ve become so popular. 

Happy Dazzle Clients (Or Should We Say, Dazzled Clients!?)

In each of these cases, a challenge existed, a Dazzle freelancer swooped in, and without stress, it was mission accomplished! 

We’re delighted that all of these clients had such glowing praise for our freelancers and the Dazzle process. 

German Football Association (Deutscher Fußball-Bund)

Back in November 2023, the German Football Association was preparing for the 2024 cup finals
 — or the DFB-Pokal finals, as they call it in Germany — for both men and women. And they wanted to place a clear focus on environmental sustainability for these events. 

Luckily, they decided to turn to Dazzle, and we teamed them up with our Climate Action Freelancer Orjan, who had previously worked at FIFA! If you don’t know who FIFA are, they’re kind of a big deal in the world of football — they’re the governing body of football worldwide). 

Orjan worked for over 6 months with the client’s sustainability manager Simon Rasch to make the cup finals more environmentally conscious.

As the client was looking for a freelancer with experience in planning and leading sustainable event management, Orjan was the perfect match.

In the words of Simon Rasch: “It was important for us to match with a freelancer who worked in our sector and has many years of experience. This is because our sector-specific requirements in major sporting events are very specialized. Dazzle helped us find the perfect match.’’

Only one team could win each cup final, but we feel everyone was a winner with this collaboration.

MIDGARD

From sustainable real-life games, to sustainable video games! 

Another happy Dazzle client is Midgard, who focus on making the video game industry more sustainable, one game at a time.

The first step in achieving this was to give gamers access to a curated list of the best carbon-neutral games on the market.

To make it happen, Midgard reached out to Dazzle in December 2023 in search of a top-tier Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) freelancer. Within 48 hours, we had matched them with Talha, whose expertise were a perfect match. 

Within 8 weeks, Talha had performed an LCA following ISO standards and presented it to the client. 

Not only was the client delighted with the outcome of this particular project, they seem to be very happy with Dazzle in general!

Jerome Ibañez, Midgard’s Founder stated: “One of the hardest things about working with freelancers (especially in sustainability) is sourcing. It’s really difficult and time-consuming to go through tons of pages on LinkedIn to find someone. Dazzle makes finding sustainability freelancers effortless. Just tell them what the project is about, what you think you need, and your budget and they’ll come up with a recommendation. All of the freelancers they’ve introduced to me so far have been spot on.”

Praise really doesn’t come much higher than that. 

Hanzestrohm

Hanzestrohm — a Dutch family company offering solutions for construction, industry, energy and infrastructure — is another client who appreciated how easy it is to find the right freelance sustainability consultant through Dazzle. 

They were looking to hold an in-person, interactive workshop on LCA/EPD in June 2024, and wanted support from a suitable sustainability specialist. 

Without fuss, Dazzle was able to connect them with Senior Climate Freelancer, Nienke, who helped them run a successful workshop. The workshop provided Hanzestrohm’s product managers with everything they needed to know about what an LCA/EPD entails, and why these documents are crucial for achieving the company’s sustainability objectives.

Hanzestrohm’s sustainability manager, Mark Roos, was happy with the Dazzle process: ”In the world of sustainability, it is difficult to match up with the right freelance expert for a specific sustainability topic. Dazzle helped us in matching up with a good freelancer. After explaining what we wanted to achieve and what the scope and purpose was of our workshop, Dazzle matched us with the right freelance expert.’’

And we are very happy that he was happy. 

SKIM Group

Back in April 2024, global insights agency SKIM Group was looking for an external copywriter with strong sustainability messaging experience. 

The client had already developed a number of sustainability messages for their external communication strategy, and wanted this copywriter to refine those messages. 

Within 24 hours of SKIM Group reaching out, we had matched them with Adam, a freelance sustainability copywriter and communications expert. 

Adam was able to review the existing messages, and build upon them to create compelling copy that the client loved. 

According to David Voxlin, SKIM Group’s sustainability director: ‘’Dazzle helped match us with a great freelancer for our project and made the process fast and easy. We simply forwarded our brief and the team at Dazzle took care of the rest. We are really happy with the outcome of the project and look forward to working with more Dazzle freelancers in the future!’’

We are really looking forward to working with SKIM Group again too

Nedspice Group

From our experience, everyone is looking for help with the CSRD lately, and Nedspice Group are no different. Thankfully, Dazzle was able to take their CSRD pain away! 

In preparation for FY2025-related CSRD actions, Nedspice Group was aiming to conduct a Double Materiality Analysis (DMA) in alignment with the CSRD’s ESRS-1 requirements, for the fiscal year 2023. 

They required a CSRD freelancer to assist them with this (who wouldn’t!), so they reached out to Dazzle. Within a few days, we matched the client with CSRD expert Chi, who was an ideal match in terms of both languages and expertise. 

After 3 months of collaboration, the project was delivered, and the client’s CSRD worries were no more. 

Nedspice Group’s sustainability manager, Renée van den Elsen, found the whole process very valuable: ‘’We had a great experience working with freelancer, Chi. She brought a wealth of knowledge on the sustainable regulatory landscape and guided us perfectly through our Double Materiality Assessment. The feedback she gave on our current sustainability strategy was very valuable, concise, and practical. Overall, we would highly recommend Chi to any organization trying to enhance their sustainability strategy. A big thanks to Dazzle for the perfect matchmaking.’’
You couldn’t be more welcome Renée, we are delighted to be of service. 

And you know who else is welcome? You are!
