Controller Julia – A Boost for Holtab’s Sustainability Efforts

With Julia Pastaven on board, Holtab is taking its sustainability work to the next level. She holds the new position of Sustainability Controller.

“It’s exciting to join a workplace that already has the right mindset at its core,” she says.

Sustainability is not just a priority for Holtab – it’s embedded in everything the company stands for. This includes social, economic, and environmental responsibility.

“There’s a strong circular mindset here. You notice it right away,” says Julia.

Starting this year, Holtab will report in accordance with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This directive is part of the EU’s “Green Deal,” which aims to make Europe the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

“CSRD helps increase transparency and accountability within companies, making it easier for investors and other stakeholders to understand how businesses approach sustainability,” Julia explains.

“This has always been a strong interest of mine. Collecting data and conducting analyses in this field is incredibly stimulating,” she says.
