table talks
Hjørring Municipality in Northern Denmark is engaging with their citizens and companies in new ways. They have invited everybody on a climate journey intended to translate complex climate actions plans into a shared regional conversation on climate change. We help develop the vision behind the green mindset transformation.
new lifestyles
guide to Sustainia
Consumption and production of food, housing, mobility, and FMCG represent some of the largest sources of emissions. We have developed a range of guides to sustainable lifestyles, and offer sector-based analyses on available solutions and strategies.
understanding & expanding
arctic lives
We take a deep interest in everyday lives and local lifestyles. With the Nordic Council of Ministers we have served as operators of the Arctic Opportunity Explorer - a dynamic program that supports the health and well-being of children and gender equality by engaging youth at Arctic universities to further innovation and the creation of new insights for the benefit of whole societies.

New habits require new knowledge, and new conversations. Since the birth of Sustainia we have pursued how sustainable consumption should be designed and embraced by people.
Creative
fact-based creativity makes us different
verified
With us, you will meet both creative video producers and sustainability experts. We are not an advertising agency and only work with cases that are verified sustainable by our own sustainability team. We have vetted and verified thousands of sustainable products, services or business models, and work as advisors for global market leaders. This is your guarantee that the beautiful video and content we produce for you is fully fact-based and compliant.
high-end video production
less is action
Sustainia partners with DROBE and founder Kim Balle serves as creative director on all our productions in unison with our sustainability teams. Together we ensure that any complexity results in a clear message that engages people. Kim Balle has more than ten years of experience creating engaging content and brand videos for international organisations, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Porsche, Pandora, Grundfos, Danmarks Nationalbank, Visit Denmark, Radisson and many more. His work has resulted in over 2.000 productions and content captured from 14 countries.
“It is a joy working closely with clients that prioritize sustainability and appreciate beautiful content. Today, it takes an extra effort for businesses to avoid greenwashing and this is why our sustainability experts and content producers work in tandem.”
Kim Balle, Creative Director
Example: EcoTree is a company specializing in the ecological and economic development of forests and biodiversity. EcoTree needed a main communication package, and Kim and DROBE created a main communication narrative from where the storyline was built.
publications & reports
magazines
We make beautiful reports and publications tailor-made to your preferred audience, and we’re comfortable communicating with all types of people.
graphics & explainers
animations
Sometimes an explainer video is what does the trick. We make all sorts of animations and graphics to convey your message in the best possible manner.
Learning about sustainable solutions can be fun and engaging. With Disney & Pixar artist David Tart we developed an animation series starring an imaginary professor and his assistant as they explore the world of “Sustainia”.

Opportunity workshop
New ideas
Opportunity workshops typically take 3 hours where we work on opportunities you would like to explore further and need a second opinion on. After the workshop you receive a report with all our recommendations.
Market research
New opportunity outlook
If you prefer we do most of the work, we've identified and promoted thousands of sustainable products and services that work. And we've analysed even more that don't. If you're a client of ours, we help map the most relevant industry and consumer trends, and identify existing products in the market. We both offer shorter solution outlooks and mini-versions of our acclaimed Global Opportunity Reports, an easy way to move in the right direction.
People-friendly governance
New ESG
Are you wondering if you have the right ESG governance setup for CSRD & ESRS compliance? We know best practice and can help produce or review all policies and procedures, and make sure it's communicated so your staff and suppliers understand.

Biodiversity
Flora, fauna & finance
Biodiversity
Build a solid biodiversity strategy with quick wins and longer term goals. More than half of the world’s total GDP depending on natural capital assets, biodiversity stewardship presents immense opportunities with far-reaching implications
Regulatory opportunities
Despite the growing focus on biodiversity loss from both society and regulators, many businesses continue to demonstrate limited awareness of their impact on biodiversity.
In fact, businesses are now required to measure and disclose biodiversity-related information through well-established frameworks like the Global Reporting Index (GRI), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TFND)
Market opportunities
Forward-looking businesses recognize that the biodiversity crisis presents unique opportunities. By actively supporting biodiversity, companies can reduce costs, enhance operational efficiency, explore untapped markets, and cultivate a positive company image
Sustainia simplifies Biodiversity
In our Sustainia simplifies X series we often cover biodiversity. We invite you to reach out to increase the value of biodiversity in your communications, production, and supply chain alike
SDG
Sustainable Development Goals
UN SDGs
SDGs can be a powerful strategic tool. Having SDG mapped and analysed 1500+ sustainable solutions, we can help quantify how your organisation impacts the SDGs. We map your initiatives and services against the 169 targets behind the 17 Goals to build a clear picture on where you are making progress or lagging behind. A solid foundation makes you stand out and help deliver on the Global Goals.
Communications
Visualisation
Communication is an essential component of working with the Goals. We advise on SDG communication at all stages for external or internal consumption, and for a range of purposes. We can serve you with a multitude of communication deliverables from social media content through to videos, sustainability reports, and infographics.
