Sustained Impact

What Sustained Impact does

Sustained Impact is a sole-proprietor sustainability consultancy founded and operated by Claudia Giselle Edinger, headquartered in Pulheim, Germany with an additional operating presence in Lima, Peru. The practice delivers advisory, coaching, facilitation, and speaking services to public-sector bodies, destination marketing organizations, NGOs, and private companies, with a focus on sustainable development within the events, tourism, and corporate sectors. Named engagements include work with Promperú, Convention Bureau Tirol, Perú Sostenible, and Der Manufaktur, alongside pro bono and collaborative work with organizations such as Plan International, Plant-for-the-Planet, Casa Munay, and Tiaparo.

The service portfolio is built entirely on the founder's 27 years of cross-disciplinary experience, including 11 years at Symantec in senior sustainability roles, combined with board service and multilingual delivery across German, English, and Spanish. The firm has developed repeatable program formats including the Andean Energy Sessions and regenerative tourism offerings, and maintains thought leadership through published articles, a podcast, and speaking engagements at industry venues such as IMEX Frankfurt (2022 and 2023). The practice holds a seat on the Events Industry Council Sustainability Committee, embedding it within the global events industry's standards-setting community.

The business model is project-based consulting with no disclosed pricing structure, no external funding, and no headcount beyond the founder. Revenue is generated through bespoke advisory contracts, facilitation engagements, and speaker fees, with no productized software, platform, or licensing component. Customer acquisition is driven by the founder's personal network, speaking visibility, and institutional partnerships rather than paid marketing or outbound sales operations.
