AUM Advisory delivers rigorous, evidence-based ESG strategy, regulatory compliance, and carbon market intelligence — built by practitioners who have led from the inside.
AUM Advisory was founded to close the gap between regulatory complexity and corporate action. We don't offer frameworks for frameworks — we deliver implementation-ready strategy grounded in 15+ years of first-hand experience across the full ESG ecosystem.
Our founder brings a uniquely three-sided perspective: as a carbon project proponent, a DOE Lead Auditor, and a former UNFCCC Secretariat official — combined with senior roles at MSCI ESG Ratings, Uniper, and General Electric.
"The rarest credential in ESG is having been on all sides of the table — project developer, verifier, and rule-maker. AUM Advisory brings all three to every mandate."
— Kunal Sharma, Founder & Principal AdvisorOur service portfolio is organised into three tiers — from rapid audit and compliance work, through core strategic mandates, to high-value specialised advisory. Engagements are scoped precisely to your stage, sector, and regulatory exposure.
Entry-point engagements for companies at the start of their compliance or certification journey. High-certainty mandates, rapid deployment.
Strategic mandates with substantive deliverables. Technically intensive, high-impact engagements that form the backbone of the advisory practice.
Complex, high-stakes mandates requiring deep technical specialism. Retained and project-based formats. The highest-value work in the portfolio.
From first conversation to final deliverable, AUM Advisory applies the same structured methodology that governs international standards bodies and tier-one consultancies.
Most ESG consultants advise from one side of the regulatory fence. AUM Advisory brings direct experience as a rule-maker (UNFCCC), a standards verifier (SGS, TÜV network), and a corporate practitioner (MSCI, Uniper, GE).
That three-sided perspective means we understand not just what the regulations say — but how they were written, where they flex, and how they will be enforced.
Former UNFCCC P-4 experience means we've read the negotiating text, not just the summary.
As former MSCI ESG Research Lead, we know exactly how raters assess what companies disclose — and what they don't.
Every engagement delivers board-ready outputs — not strategy frameworks that require another consultant to action.
Deep familiarity with German Mittelstand context, EU regulatory timelines, and cross-border compliance complexity.
Whether you're facing an imminent CSRD deadline, exploring SBTi target-setting, or looking for a retained ESG advisor — let's talk. Initial consultations are complimentary and without obligation.
