Your next customer request shouldn’t slow down your business.

An EcoVadis request, supplier questionnaire or new customer sustainability requirement lands on your desk, but the evidence is scattered and nobody finds the time to work out what is missing.

Portrait of Riccarda Chiappani, former EcoVadis Sustainability Analyst supporting food businesses with buyer readiness, Ecovadis and sustainability documentation.

Meet your EcoVadis & food sustainability expert.

Hi, I’m Riccarda.

I help companies prepare for EcoVadis and build the sustainability documentation customers expect - with particular expertise in food and agrifood.

Before starting RC Future Consulting, I reviewed more than 300 company assessments as an EcoVadis Sustainability Analyst and audited 30+ food suppliers across six countries. While I worked in international food productions, I saw something across all countries: companies often already do more than they can prove.

Now I help companies across industries turn that work into clear, credible evidence without overcomplicating the process.

Why clients choose to work with me
I’ve worked on both sides of the table, so I know what buyers, auditors and assessors actually expect.

Today I use that knowledge to help companies build the right documentation before it becomes a barrier to winning or keeping business.
