As we reflect on Helen Clarkson’s powerful opening speech at hashtag , one thing is clear: 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 to act. With the devastating impacts of climate change hitting vulnerable communities the hardest, we can no longer afford to wait. It’s time to move from setting sustainability goals to implementing them.

At The Overview Effect, we focus on real, actionable solutions that put both people and planet at the heart of the transition. As Clarkson emphasized, this must be a just transition—one that benefits all communities, especially those most affected by climate change, and not just a privileged few.

Businesses have the power to drive this change, but it requires commitment, collaboration, and bold decisions. As Helen said, it’s time to have the difficult conversations, to invest in renewables now, and to ensure that everyone is included in the benefits of a low-carbon future.

Together, we can reshape the future. Together, we can make it happen. One project at a time.

🚀 3… 2… 1… We have a LIFTOFF! Welcome to The Overview Effect.

Today marks an exciting milestone for us. After months of hard work, we’re thrilled to finally introduce The Overview Effect to the world! 🎉

We are Koen, Lena, and Olivier – a group of highly experienced sustainability professionals brought together by a shared vision: to help companies navigate the increasingly complex world of sustainability to create real, lasting impact. We offer pragmatic guidance and actionable solutions to help businesses make sustainability a core part of their strategy.

Our name is inspired by the phenomenon astronauts report while viewing Earth from space. Seeing our planet from orbit, they suddenly realize the beauty, fragility, and worthiness of protection our planet deserves. This awareness drives us to help companies shape our sustainable future.

But we are more than just another consultancy; The Overview Effect is about creating something bigger. We’re building a community of like-minded professionals who are just as passionate about driving change as we are.

For us, this is personal. We have founded The Overview Effect because we believe there’s a better way—one where sustainability shapes business strategy and where every project brings us closer to a future where people and planet thrive together. We believe that sustainability isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about real change that benefits both people and planet.

Thank you for joining us at the start of this exciting journey. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together, as we move from business-as-usual to business-as-the-world-needs. One project at a time.
