Impact without excuses

Daniel Cohen Stuart is Sustainability Lead and certified B Leader at BR-ND People (Amsterdam, B Corp since 2018). He guides mission-driven organisations through the full B Corp journey and studied Global Project & Change Management at Windesheim Honours College. He also created the Impact Entrepreneurship course for Spark School.

Most sustainability consultants show up with a checklist. Daniel shows up with a mirror. He started as an intern at BR-ND People from Windesheim Honours College, joined the Impact Board, and grew into the go-to person who guides organizations through the full B Corp journey. In between, he spent three years building his own venture in sustainable fashion; because when you believe things can be different, you just do it.

• Changing from the inside out – Daniel helps organizations take their social and environmental impact seriously. Not as a marketing story, but as a way of working.
• B Corp guide – As a certified B Leader and Sustainability Lead, he walks companies from first impact scan to certification; and everything that comes after.
• The long game – With over six years of impact project management experience, he knows real change doesn't fit in a quarter. But it does start with the first step.

Daniel studied Global Project & Change Management and sustainability, but his most important lesson came from practice: that impact isn't a side project, it's the core of good business.
