About Monica Simha

I help businesses move beyond sustainability pledges and turn commitments into real impact.From cutting emissions and developing transition plans to embedding ESG into core strategies, my focus is on driving meaningful change—not just checking compliance boxes.I chose this path because, while businesses contribute to many challenges, they also hold the power to solve them. With their resources, influence, and reach, they can reshape systems for the better—and I’m committed to helping them do just that.My Work Focuses On: Sustainability in Strategy – Sustainability shouldn’t be an afterthought. I work to make it a central part of business decision-making. Stakeholder Engagement – From employees to suppliers, I help build sustainability champions across the value chain. Collaboration – Systemic change requires collective effort. I’ve led initiatives where companies unite to influence policy and drive impact.What Drives Me?After consulting organizations across IT, Banking, Oil & Gas, Automotive, and Manufacturing on sustainability reporting strategies, and framework-aligned reporting, I noticed a common challenge—companies often spend more time reporting than driving real impact.As climate change accelerates, there’s a huge opportunity for businesses to innovate and create tangible change. They are both the problem and the solution, and my mission is to ensure they take meaningful action.Professional Skillsets:• Sustainability Reporting based on GRI, IR, UNGC frameworks, SASB, CSRD (ESRS), IFRS, CSDS• Disclosure requirements such as CDP, NVG\'s, ILO, ISO 14064, GHG Protocol, TCFD, TNFD, GRESB, FITWEL• Life cycle management• Energy Auditing and Impact Assessment• Research Methodologies (Qualitative and Quantitative)• Data Management and Visualizations• Logical Framework Analysis• Policy Development• Project Management• Proficiency in MS Office Applications• Proficiency in Tableau, SPSS, basic proficiency in MySQLSoft Skills:• Thought Leadership and leading change• Effective communication • Workload management• Creative Problem solving• Exceptional critical and analytical skills• Realistic Time Management• Cross-functional Team Collaboration• Adaptability and resilience to change• EthicalLet’s connect if you need help turning your sustainability goals into real action.
