Hey, I’m Nicole,

I’ve spent over a decade leading ESG programs inside some of Australia’s most recognised brands—David Jones, Country Road Group, Aje, Lorna Jane, and Bunnings.

And no matter where I worked, the pattern was the same:
Brands working in silos. ESG managers drowning in admin.
Modern Slavery statements, audit reviews, policy rewrites—repeated endlessly across businesses, with barely any time left to focus on impact.

Now, with more legislation emerging every quarter, staying compliant isn’t just overwhelming—it’s becoming a full-time scramble.

That’s why, a year ago, I started building ESG Assistants.
Smart, AI-powered tools designed to eliminate the repetitive admin and help ESG managers shift from compliance chaos to real progress.

Since then, I’ve helped brands:

• Become the first brand validated by Oxfam for paying a living wage

• Meet Modern Slavery reporting requirements

• Reduce their carbon footprints

But I know one thing for sure: we’ll go further if we stop doing it alone.

If we build shared systems, share what works, and streamline what’s standard, we can free up time, amplify our impact—and finally move the needle across the entire industry.

Compliance isn’t the goal. It’s the baseline.
Let’s stop duplicating—and start leading.
