Sustainability and ESG professional with over six years of experience in corporate ESG controlling, governance, and non-financial reporting. Currently supporting ESG data governance and control frameworks across operations.
Hi, I'm Firat — a political scientist and public administrator by training, and a Sustainability & ESG professional driven by a strong commitment to climate action, responsible business, and climate-related human mobility.
With a Ph.D. focused on climate change and human mobility, I bring a cross-sector background spanning academia, NGOs, and global companies including Shell and Google. I currently work as a Sustainability Specialist at DSV, where I support ESG data management, reporting processes, performance improvement, and alignment with sustainability goals.
Alongside my corporate sustainability work, I teach and publish on sustainability, human rights, globalization, international relations, and the political and economic impacts of climate change.
What motivates me most is connecting research with action. I enjoy translating complex sustainability and ESG topics into practical, meaningful steps that teams can understand, implement, and improve over time — whether through ESG training, reporting improvements, stakeholder collaboration, or mentoring students.
Having worked with international teams and across different cultural contexts, I strongly believe that cross-cultural collaboration is essential to building more sustainable and inclusive solutions.
If you are working on sustainability, ESG, climate policy, international collaboration, or climate change-related human mobility, I'd be happy to connect.
