Building the Dream - S01 / E08

Turning ESG Data into Business Power

Featuring Lenny from Salacia Solutions

As we gear up for the Climate Tech Summit on October 22 in Amsterdam, I’m excited to launch a special podcast series featuring five incredible entrepreneurs who are driving real impact through their ventures.


In this first episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Lenny van Klink, the visionary co-founder of Salacia Solutions. 🧜‍♀️


Is ESG data or the CSRD just a compliance burden for your organization? 💡 Think again! Lenny explains how rethinking these insights can actually unlock massive business opportunities. 🌱📊


We dove deep into his career journey, spanning consultancy and governmental roles, which eventually led to the founding of Salacia, the first ESG tracking & reporting platform capable of handling big data at scale. Their bootstrapped success story is a great inspiration for many other founders.


Businesses like Salacia Solutions are transforming the way companies approach sustainability. What’s often viewed as “compliance” can become a powerful competitive advantage for future growth. 🌿💼


Thank you, Lenny, for the inspiring conversation and for sharing your invaluable insights. Keep pushing!
