About

Companies do not need more sustainability frameworks.

They need advisors who understand operational reality: the cost pressure in procurement, demands from customers, the difficulty of managing change inside large organisations. Without that experience, even well-designed sustainability frameworks rarely survive contact with day-to-day business.

Bluespar combines business experience and sustainability expertise. This allows us to integrate sustainability into your existing processes and ways of working rather than imposing separate frameworks. This approach meets less resistance and costs less. It makes sustainability business-as-usual instead of a separate compliance exercise.

Compliance remains explicit and proportionate — we address it where regulatory or contractual requirements demand it, rather than building parallel systems.

We work across organisations, regardless of their sustainability maturity — helping boards establish strategic direction, supporting operational teams with implementation, and building capability throughout. We also collaborate with multi-stakeholder initiatives, NGOs, and foundations, bringing credibility trusted by both corporate and civil society partners.

Founder and Managing Director

Professional background

Peter founded Bluespar after more than 25 years in international business operations, spanning shipping, procurement, sales, and supply chain management. His career includes senior roles in both family-owned businesses and large corporations and operating in complex, global industrial supply chains.

Over the past decade, his work has focused on corporate sustainability strategy and implementation. As Head of Sustainability at a major European steel producer, his work covered ESG strategy development, responsible sourcing programmes, sustainability reporting, and governance framework design. In that role, he established operational due diligence systems and integrated sustainability into enterprise risk management and procurement processes.

Peter has also been very active in multi-stakeholder environments. He served on the steering committee of the Dutch International Responsible Business Conduct (IRBC) Agreement for the Metals sector, working alongside companies, NGOs, trade unions, and government on human rights and environmental risks in global supply chains. He currently serves on the Advisory Board of the Master’s in Sustainability Transitions at Rotterdam Business School.

He holds dual law degrees (public and private law) from Utrecht University, with a focus on business and trade. This legal foundation, combined with operational and strategic experience, underpins his approach to governance, risk, and sustainability integration.

Based in Amsterdam, with regular presence in Paris, Peter advises European and non-European organisations on sustainability-related strategy, governance, and risk management, particularly where global supply chains intersect with EU regulatory and stakeholder expectations.

How we work

Our method offers several key benefits

At Bluespar, we work closely with your people on your projects
1

Your people know your business best

We do not want to ask unnecessary questions or explore fruitless avenues. However, when needed, we will challenge your ways of working and thinking to obtain the best possible results.

2

Improved quality of the solution

Your people understand your organisation’s culture, processes, and systems better than anyone. Their knowledge helps develop solutions that tie into your existing ways of working, enabling smoother implementation and faster adoption.

3

Knowledge transfer and capacity building

When employees participate in the project, they gain knowledge and skills. This empowers them to handle similar projects independently and reduces reliance on external consultants.

Cost-efficiency

Shorter lead times, easier-to-implement solutions, and less external project support all lead to lower overall costs and a higher return on your investment.
