Sustainability roles are not difficult because of a lack of competence or plans. They are difficult because of conflicting goals, opposing interests, and often a lack of authority coming together.
Measures have been decided, but there's a lack of commitment. Departments have their own priorities, decisions take time, and you constantly have to push.
Management, departments, employees, customers, regulations, and your own standards do not automatically pull in the same direction.
You bring a lot of expertise, but you wonder if you're doing enough. Not because you're unsuitable, but because the role is structurally demanding.
The problem isn't just with you.
Sustainability responsibility often means: a significant transformation mandate, numerous conflicting objectives, and at times, little formal power. Coaching is an effective space for reflection and problem-solving precisely for these challenges.
In coaching, we work on your specific situation: your role, the conflicts in your field, and the next step that is genuinely feasible and effective.
So that you don't have to carry everything at once, but know where your effective leverage lies.
So that difficult conversations don't get avoided, escalate or get stuck in justifications.
So that complex situations become concrete options and realistic next steps.
For Sustainability Managers
If you are to advance sustainability but depend on other areas, coaching strengthens your role, your communication skills, and your ability to act.
Coaching is worthwhile when you need to provide direction, while conflicting goals, knowledge gaps, and differing interests make implementation difficult.
Coaching is about your clarity, perspectives, and options for action. I ask questions, reflect patterns, and support you in developing concrete next steps. Together we reflect on you, and you grow with every insight.
Qualifications and Ethics
I completed my coaching training at the SolutionsAcademy. I adhere to the Code of Ethics of the International Coaching Federation. In particular, confidentiality, a clear definition of the coaching mandate and a professional separation of roles are of paramount importance to me.
If plant values is consulting simultaneously, we clarify roles, confidentiality, and potential conflicts of interest transparently together.

Single session, package or longer-term support?
Everything is possible. Feel free to decide after we've clarified things together.

I am Toni Koç, co-founder and partner at plant values. As a sustainability consultant, I have been supporting companies for over 10 years with sustainability strategy and transformation, related analyses, innovation, and hands-on implementation. I know sustainability from the boardroom right down to the colleagues in grounds maintenance.
In many projects, I have seen sustainability rarely fails solely at the concept stage. The impact is often decided in everyday life. In conversations, conflicts, priorities, responsibilities, and personal behavioural patterns.
That's why I combine a professional understanding of sustainability with solution focused coaching. For people who don't just want to understand sustainability, but really want to drive it forward within the company.
Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of coaching. Even if the coaching is commissioned by a company, we agree transparently on what information may and may not be shared between the coach, coachee, and client.
Yes, but only with clear role separation. We will clarify in advance whether coaching, consulting, or a combination would be beneficial. In the case of concurrent consulting, we pay particular attention to confidentiality, role clarification, and potential conflicts of interest.
Not in the strictest sense. Coaching is about your role, clarity, impact, and ability to act. If professional sustainability advice is needed, we address this openly and keep the formats strictly separate.
Coaching does not replace psychotherapy, medical treatment, or legal advice. If another form of support is more appropriate, I will openly discuss it.
For an acute issue, a single session can already be helpful. For role clarification, conflicts, or personal development, several appointments are advisable. Management and senior executives often wish for long-term support for their continuous development. We will clarify this together in the orientation meeting.
Coaching strengthens personal effectiveness in a role that often comes without formal power but with a high degree of responsibility for transformation. It can help to implement sustainability strategies more effectively, handle conflicts more constructively, and prepare decisions more efficiently.
If you're currently at a point where sustainability is clearer from a technical perspective than from a human or organisational one, then let's talk. In a free discovery call, we'll clarify what your situation involves and whether coaching is the right format for it.
Coaching for Sustainability Managers: Effectively leading sustainability, even when it gets complicated
Driving sustainability in a company is rarely just a specialist task. Sustainability managers, ESG leads and executives often navigate a space between strategy, regulation, communication, internal expectations, limited resources, and high personal responsibility. This is precisely where our Coaching for Sustainability Professionals to.
Coaching will support you in leading your role more clearly, setting priorities, dealing with conflicting goals, and effectively embedding sustainability within the company. It is aimed at people who not only want to work with sustainability from a technical perspective, but who also want to enable change, prepare decisions, involve other specialist areas, and remain capable of acting even in difficult situations. Our offering for sustainability managers, ESG officers, and leaders who want to drive sustainability forward despite conflicting goals, resistance, role conflicts, and high personal responsibility.
In coaching, we work on the questions that are truly relevant in the everyday lives of sustainability professionals: How do I position sustainability internally without constantly having to justify myself? How do I deal with resistance from specialist departments, management, or communications? How do I translate sustainability goals into concrete next steps? How do I remain effective when requirements increase, responsibilities are unclear, and decisions progress slowly?
plant values combines sustainability expertise with coaching, strategy and transformation experience. The company supports private companies, public companies, and industry and social associations on the path to future-proof organisations, where social-ecological responsibility and economic success are considered together.
The outcome is not a standard training course, but an individual space for reflection and development tailored to your specific situation. You.
