Making sustainability work side by side with our client
With customer demand rising and regulations being implemented, Goedhart Bakery Kitchen was running behind on sustainability. We fill the role as their sustainability manager for 2-3 days per week.
5 projects, in order
Each one grew out of the last. This is what a long engagement actually looks like.
ESG strategy
By mapping al stakeholder demands as well as internal wishes, we developed an ESG strategy for the coming years.

Working on improving the sustainability of packaging, according to the EU PPWR packaging regulation.
SBTi
As Goedhart's clients increasingly demand science based targets, we've committed, and are currently developing our climate action plan.
In my entire career as an auditor, I've never seen such a beautiful greenhouse gas inventory
How it actually went
Written by the person who did the work, not by marketing.
Goedhart Bakery Kitchen was looking for a new sustainability manager and hired New Alchemists. Their investor and customers - notably Albert Heijn, Lidl, Jumbo and more - are stepping up their game in terms of sustainability, and are passing down demands to their suppliers.
We started with an ESG strategy and action plan, creating an overview of all stakeholder demands and wishes.
What followed was a long-term relationship with Goedhart, in which we worked on their Greenhouse Gas Accounting, B Corp Certification, CO2-compensation, EcoVadis, SBTi, improving sustainability of packaging, gender pay gap, measuring worker satisfaction, improving culture and labour circumstances, writing up formal governance policies, and PPWR and EUDR compliance.
Other long-running relationships
Maxine and Nina started working for OLX when they were still consultants at Rebel. Six years later, OLX Group is still with us. Client Ana: "I'll keep you on retainer forever."
Bugaboo acquired Joolz, and inherited Maxine along the way. She's now helping them prepare for B Corp under the new 2025 standards, and migrating LCA data from her Joolz days to measure the product footprint across 40+ strollers and accessories.
De Bonte Koe has always had sustainability in their minds, but B Corp certification kept getting pushed aside. When their pistachio bar went viral and the team hit full capacity, we stepped in to get them over the finish line.
