About

Ole Bach Andersen

With more than 35 years of experience in business strategy, digital solutions, and change management, Ole helps organisations prioritize sustainability initiatives based on materiality assessments including risk and opportunities and move faster on sustainability using data and technology. As a former Vice President at CGI Denmark, he led consulting teams across different industries, helped companies overcome serious challenges, and was recognised internationally for his work in driving sustainable change.

Now leading SustainImpact, Ole advises boards and executives on achieving sustainability through initiatives with business outcomes - focusing on materiality assessments, valuechains, regulatory alignment (including CSRD and VSME) and digital solutions.

Ole helps organisations integrate sustainability into business strategy, with a focus on turning complex sustainability challenges into clear priorities and practical action. His work spans double materiality assessments, strategic planning and implementation, helping organisations identify the issues that matter most, manage risk and uncover opportunities for long-term value creation.

He works with leadership teams to translate these insights into focused objectives, measurable results and practical initiatives, and to put in place the structures and digital tools needed to support effective implementation and demonstrate impact.

A particular focus of Ole’s work is making sustainability more accessible and actionable. He has published a full DMA process methodology, built digital tooling for double materiality and ESRS datapoint management, and works with companies on making sustainability a commercial value driver rather than a compliance exercise. Also, he developed a suite of AI-powered tools designed to help small and medium-sized European businesses better understand their sustainability position and identify practical opportunities for improvement.

ESG Maturity Survey - assesses a company’s ESG maturity across six dimensions and provides tailored recommendations to help shape its sustainability priorities.
Business Advisor - uses a short set of questions to identify personalised actions that can help a business reduce costs, create revenue opportunities and manage risk through a sustainability lens.
