Why Compass
Big-firm knowledge, small-business warmth
After nine years of ESG work at a Big Four firm, Sanne started Compass in 2019 for the companies she kept seeing left behind: bakeries, design studios, logistics firms and tech start-ups with real ambition but no sustainability department.
Today we're a team of four in Amsterdam-West, and we still work the same way — close, honest and practical.
- Fixed prices, agreed upfront. You know the full cost before we start.
- Plain language. We translate Scope 3 and ESRS into decisions your team understands.
- Progress over perfection. A good plan you follow beats a perfect one you shelve.

Client stories
In their own words
"Our biggest customer sent a 40-question ESG survey and we panicked. Sanne had us answering every question within three weeks — and we won the renewal."
"We scored 84.2 on our B Corp assessment. Without Compass we'd still be stuck on the governance section. They made it feel doable, even fun."
"The monthly check-ins keep us honest. We've switched to green energy, cut flights by half and our team actually talks about it at lunch."
