STEFAN SIEMER, CHIEF SUSTAINABILITY AT WELEDA AG - SWITZERLAND AND GLOBAL
(2023/2024)
"In the complex journey towards regenerative economy, finding a partner who truly understands not just the goal but the path is rare. With AdvantiKA, led by Karime, a consultant of remarkable humility and skill, we found this rare match. Her approach to guiding us through our first B Corp recertification has been comprehensive, blending workshops that engaged our team with hands-on operational support and strategic insight.
Karime and AdvantiKA collaboration with us goes beyond mere consultancy. By supervising a team of ESCP graduates, Karime brought fresh, innovative strategies to the forefront of our sustainability efforts being able to both guide and incorporate challenging ideas from the students, demonstrating a unique ability to translate sustainability into tangible business value.
As extra touch, the jointly presented workshop at the Swiss Impact Forum, focusing on Inner Development Goals, was a testament to Karime’s holistic approach, seamlessly integrating leadership development into our sustainability journey. Other workshops led by Advantika, based on the Climate Fresk tool gave our teams the opportunity to express their feelings and re-engage in action against climate change.
AdvantiKA has been more than a consultancy; they've been a pivotal partner in our evolution towards a regenerative future. For any company serious about making sustainability a cornerstone of their business, AdvantiKA's expertise is indispensable.”

LAURA ELLIS, GLOBAL COMPLIANCE & ESG MANAGER - SOFTWARE ONE - SWITZERLAND/LONDON
(2021/2022)
We are in the midst of taking our local ESG initiatives into a global and strategic ESG program at SoftwareONE. In our journey to take on this mammoth task, working with AdvantiKA, we knew that stakeholder engagement was key. One of the highlights was that we could co-create and agree within our Board on clear sustainability ambitions that make sense for SoftwareONE. Using these ambitions, we are now able to implement actions in a structured roadmap.
Additionally, to me personally, the consultants of AdvantiKA helped me as the leader of the project, with patience and kindness. They provided additional information when needed and supported me so that I could drive discussions with our leadership and felt educated on complex subject matters.
At first, SoftwareONE was a bit uncertain, as AdvantiKA's approach seemed to be less pragmatic than the company wished. However, after the construction of the detailed roadmap, collectively, we were able to demonstrate the impact of the ESG strategy in meeting our requirements to go beyond just ticking the boxes, which was one of our demands all along.
Now that AdvantiKA has helped to give our strategy it’s foundations, we are able to create more concreate work ahead and can drive towards more significant sustainability action.

In my capacity as Non-Executive Board Member of a medium-sized family business, Karime has helped me steer the sustainability strategic thinking of our Board. Her deep knowledge and breadth of resources are impressive but what I value the most is Karime’s capacity to quickly dive into any particular issue and adapt her proposed strategy, over time, to the particular challenges I face.

We learned so much in this process with AdvantiKA, especially regarding our process flow and, also the importance of the sustainability focus in every step of our processes. With the help of AdvantiKA, we are now able to scale up our cricket powder production, in a cost-efficient scenario without sacrificing the positive impact on the environment, and with all the great contacts provided, we can scale up our cricket farming as well.

Customer Testimonials
ADRIANO MARTINS DE PAULA, SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGER AT MAKRO - BRAZIL
(2019)
We had a real education session because Karime (AdvantiKA's founder) addressed not only the retail area but also other segments such as industry, agriculture, logistics, etc., with practical examples of how each of these segments is incorporating sustainable actions in its business in a way that bring benefits not only for these companies but for our entire society. In addition, she also brought examples of how we can implement small actions in our daily lives as citizens and how that can make a huge difference for our planet. We also saw the application of blockchain, actions to fight waste, packaging recycling and reverse-sale. It was fun to see some pursuits that reminded us of the time of our grandmothers, such as bulk sales. In the end, she showed how to have more sustainable logistics. I realized that these companies are now reaping what they planted back there. If we want a better world, we have to start planting this seed of sustainability today.
It was great to see Karime leading such an important topic, not only for companies but also for us as individuals! Some people came to me afterwards to give feedback and all were very positive, stating that she exceeded their expectations, as she approached the topic of sustainability not only in retail but in many other situations, including in our daily lives.
MARINA GELMANN, DIRECTOR AT ANIMA EDUCATION - BRAZIL
(2021 through Evolure Consultoria)
Your work is work that suits us. When I'd see in my calendar our meetings about ESG it was my good moment of the day, "I'd say, oh how wonderful, today I have a meeting about that". This has more to do with the people than the subject. You (Thaís), Karime, Claudia helped me think about a subject that was good for me.
MARGARET NAGGUIJA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT MUKUSU MOTOR VEHICLES - UGANDA
(2020)
Karime is a dependable lady. She goes an extra mile to find solutions without any discrimination. I testify about this lady who reaches out to every person in any part of the world to nurture and transform their dreams into reality. She simplifies the complicated journey to a journey full of opportunities.
