Our Approach
We do not govern from a distance
Every SDS we deliver has been reviewed by a senior expert. Every CSRD programme is led by someone who has advised Boards on sustainability strategy. Every fractional CXO engagement means you get the person whose name is on the company — not a junior account manager. We are practitioners, not generalists.
AI is a tool, not a shortcut
We use AI to accelerate the mechanical parts of compliance work — data retrieval, document drafting, gap analysis. We use human expertise to ensure accuracy, regulatory judgement and professional accountability. The AI handles the legwork. The expert handles the thinking.
Your data stays yours
All client data is stored in EU-hosted Microsoft 365 infrastructure, never downloaded to local devices, and handled under a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement. Formulation data and trade secrets are handled under a separate confidentiality protocol and are never processed by AI tools.
Netherlands-based, Global facing
Based in Elst, Netherlands, with clients across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and beyond. We understand European regulatory frameworks from the inside — ECHA, EFSA, EMA, the European Commission — and maintain active relationships at industry association level through CEFIC.
Our services
Four core services built around the challenges that matter most to specialty chemical and food personal care ingredient companies mainly in Europe but we also service north America, APAC
SDS & REACH-CLP/OSHA, TSCA Compliance
WHO THIS IS FOR
Specialty chemical and food ingredient companies with product portfolios requiring Safety Data Sheets under EU CLP/OSHA Regulation (REACH Annex II/TSCA). Companies with outdated SDS libraries, upcoming customer audits, or missing documentation.
WHAT WE DELIVER
• Fully compliant 16-section Safety Data Sheets for your complete product portfolio
• CLP hazard classification using ECHA database and validated decision tools
• Automatic updates triggered by ECHA SVHC additions, CLH proposals and regulatory changes
• Monthly regulatory alert summary covering developments affecting your portfolio
• Customer compliance query support included in your retainer (up to 4 hours/month)
• Annual full portfolio compliance review
HOW WE DELIVER IT
AI-assisted drafting retrieves substance data automatically from ECHA, other databases and generates a compliant draft. Our specialist team quality-checks every section against a 15-point checklist. Maurits van Kolck reviews and signs off every document before delivery. Nothing leaves without expert approval.
TURNAROUND
Standard: 3 business days. Batch (up to 30 substances): 10 business days. Emergency: 8 business hours (see Emergency Service).
CSRD Readiness & Sustainability Reporting
WHO THIS IS FOR

• Double materiality assessment — identifying which sustainability topics are material to your business
• Gap analysis against ESRS disclosure requirements (E1 Climate, E2 Pollution, S1 Workforce, G1 Governance)

• ESRS-aligned sustainability report — audit-ready, clear, structured
• Management review and sign-off support

• Quarterly sustainability KPI tracking and analysis
• Customer sustainability questionnaire responses aligned to your ESRS data

NOTE
CSRD reporting is not only a legal obligation — it is increasingly a commercial one. Your large customers are asking for this data now. We help you answer them.
