Your Sustainability Partner
Pioneering Sustainable Business Solutions
About Me.
I’m Trenton Bortz, a sustainability strategist who turns Sustainability from a cost center into a catalyst for growth.
For nearly a decade I’ve guided organizations, from Fortune 500 manufacturers to fast‑growing tech firms, through the full sustainability journey: building audit‑ready GHG inventories, setting science‑based goals and automating data flows with the right digital tools.
My edge is breadth. I’ve launched three sustainability products, led 25‑plus Scope 1–3 inventories across five continents and steered UN‑aligned carbon programs, all while keeping one foot in strategy and the other in hands‑on implementation. Whether you need to navigate CSRD mandates, unlock circular‑economy savings or translate metrics into a story investors love, I bring the roadmap and the tactical support.
How I work: listen first, tailor solutions, and leave teams stronger than I found them. Data‑driven, jargon‑free and relentlessly practical. If you’re ready to move from ambition to action, let’s talk.
