Andrea Orsag
Business for Social Good
As a former management consultant, Andrea was working for international companies all over the world. Various projects helped her to realise and to see the impact on the environment and society was not always positive. This was creating an internal conflict between her beliefs and the job. She was keen to put her business knowledge and skills into use, to create a positive impact, showing that sustainability and business can go hand in hand and enforce each other. That’s why she has co-founded MissionC, a strategy advisory firm based in Amsterdam on a mission to reinforce the transition to Circular Economy on a global scale.
Andrea believes that a sustainable future is the only future. A circular economy where organisations design out waste will be crucial in achieving it. Organisations need to transfer sustainability from the communications and marketing department directly into the strategy and core functions. The vision of MissionC is a CONSCIOUS world where people and organisations thrive. A world where individuals understand their impact and take responsibility for their actions. A world where businesses prosper and create positive value for people and our planet. Together with her partner, Eva, and their team, they are teaming up with leaders and passionate change-makers to drive the transition. Andrea is a consultant with 10+ years of experience combining Risk Management, Strategy and Change Management cross-industry, both for the commercial sector and not-for-profit organisations internationally. The clients of MissionC are typically private sector and organisations to whom they provide business advisory – helping them to embed circular economy principles and targets into the strategy to future-proof their business, adjust business models and engage all the different stakeholders.
Andrea also acts as a speaker, guest lecturer, moderator and facilitator on topics related to Circular Economy and Sustainability with the goal to raise awareness, educate and showcase the benefits of circular economy for people, planet and profit. Over the last 12 months, MissionC has reached over 1,500 people through such activities.
