Klappir Welcomes K² Nordic to the Partner Ecosystem

Why implementation is where data creates value

A data infrastructure's impact depends on how effectively companies use it. With resource data organised in Klappir, real value emerges when governance, workflows, and decisions are implemented effectively. K² Nordic provides the expertise to turn structured data into business action and deliver impactful sustainability outcomes.

Expertise built from the inside

The expertise is first-hand. Before founding K² Nordic, Executive Advisor Kirstine Hartung Larsen led sustainability at a Nordic group with 11,000 employees and more than 100 locations. She has firsthand experience of the challenges: fragmented data, unclear ownership, and systems built for purposes other than ESG reporting.

"The problem isn't a lack of data," she says. "The challenge is accessing it." K² Nordic works across strategy, reporting, governance, and communication, taking a practical approach that embeds sustainability into existing processes: ownership, flow, and decision-making, using data.

What CSRD and VSME mean for SMEs

For smaller organisations, this is where the story becomes concrete. As CSRD reshapes reporting expectations across supply chains, the VSME standard gives SMEs a proportionate way to report on what matters. Klappir structures the underlying resource data so that VSME reporting becomes a by-product of good data practice, not a separate project, and K² Nordic helps embed that practice into how the business already works.

How K² Nordic works in Klappir

As an implementation partner, K² Nordic enables organisations to unlock the business value of ESG data in Klappir. Through data mapping, workflow setup, and ongoing guidance, K² Nordic ensures data is not only structured but used confidently for reliable VSME reporting and informed decision-making.

The collaboration is already visible. In May, Kirstine joined Klappir's Finance Meets Sustainability webinar, covering how to find and access existing data. Her message: "Most data exists. You need to turn on the right lights to see the landscape."

She also offered a perspective that resonated. VSME reporting, she noted, is a stress test of data maturity: "It's not that you have bad data. The data was created for other purposes." In her experience, the work requires collaboration and common definitions across teams. "ESG data is about alignment."

This partnership's core value lies in aligning data structure with business reality. Klappir provides standardised, trusted resource data, while K² Nordic embeds this data within operational and reporting processes. Together, they ensure organisations achieve audit-ready, decision-driving ESG outcomes with the data they already have.

"K² Nordic turns data infrastructure into an operational reality for companies. The network grows stronger with each partner who builds on it." - Iris Karlsdóttir, Chief Business Development Officer, Klappir.
