Who's behind Sustanya
Co-founder
Paula Gonzalez
More than 25 years advising financial-sector clients and major international companies on ESG topics.
Co-founder
Pedro Trinité
Serial entrepreneur and investor in technology companies, with a background in Private Equity and Venture Capital.
Our team brings together more than 40 years of experience in sustainability, built at major companies and leading international consultancies. We've led complex projects for financial and non-financial companies across Europe, the UK, North America and Sub-Saharan Africa, covering the full cycle: risk and impact assessment, sustainability and climate strategy, ESG data management and reporting, and ESG due diligence on major M&A transactions — alongside institutions such as the World Bank, KfW, Proparco and IFU, and investors including Carlyle, OMERS, KKR and 17Capital. This experience is what produces technology products that are simple, robust and built around clients' real needs. From technical detail to value creation: a senior team with the rigour and vision to get there.
Our history
Born from the conviction that sustainability is about creating value
Founded in 2024 and incubated at TTRData, Sustanya was born out of the conviction that sustainability is, above all, about creating value — through the management of risks, opportunities and trust.
Our mission
To accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world by equipping investors and SME decision-makers with the tools and knowledge to make more sustainable decisions in their day-to-day operations — enabling them to win more business, attract capital and build resilient and innovative organisations, ready for a decarbonised future.
Incubated at TTRData — a leading provider of M&A data in the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America and the Caribbean.
What sets us apart
End-to-end seniority.
Every project has dedicated senior leadership and professionals with extensive international experience, backed by specialists from our network whenever deeper expertise is needed. That's how we deliver results on par with the biggest consultancies — without the extra layers or the inflated costs.
Specialists in a few sectors, fluent in many.
We bring deep experience in complex sectors such as financial services, mining, oil & gas, energy and industry, but our reach extends to technology, hospitality & tourism, ceramics, health and forestry — and beyond. We support the sustainable business ecosystem as a whole, which only sharpens our perspective.
Technology, when it creates value.
We built our own Sustanya digital platform to simplify data collection and reporting, and we rely on proprietary tools to support strategy development. But we only bring them to clients when they genuinely make sense and add value.
Remote before it was trendy.
We've worked remotely from day one, because that's what our clients and team prefer. That means we're fluent in digital facilitation and know how to create virtual experiences that genuinely engage people, wherever they are. And when being in the same room makes the difference, we show up — we also work from our office in Bairro Alto, Lisbon.
What we believe in
Our principles
We're optimistic, practical, and we take action.
We're passionate but pragmatic, and we bring a spirit of optimism and possibility to our work. We help build strategies that are meaningful and robust, but we know when it's time to move from ideas to execution. We want every interaction with us to be a moment worth pausing for — to think, decide and act.
Built for the people who use it.
A good solution is obvious from the first use. We build intuitive tools that anyone in the company can understand — whatever their role — without sacrificing the technical rigour behind them. Simple whenever possible; complex only when it truly has to be.
We champion new ideas and perspectives.
We invest in diversity and stay at the forefront of our field to bring forward-looking, thought-provoking ideas and solutions. We help our clients review and adapt their business models to make them more resilient.
Quality is our obsession.
Excellence in delivery, attention to detail, and project management sharp enough to make people say “they thought of everything!” — that's the promise of the Sustanya brand.
Small steps, big impact.
Companies are in a privileged position to accelerate the change the planet needs. And that change isn't only made through big announcements: any initiative, however small it may seem, has real impact — and is often the starting point for something bigger.
We say things as they are.
We speak candidly, even — and especially — when it's uncomfortable. We're allergic to jargon, and we turn the complex language of sustainability into a real conversation about business and value creation.
