About us

Our work is shaped by a simple belief: sustainability delivers results when designed for how decisions are made.

Human & Heard exists to help close the gap between sustainability ambition and real-world implementation

We support organisations, businesses, and growth-stage founders navigating complex sustainability challenges — where success depends on whether strategies can move through people, markets, and institutions.

Janissa Ng

Janissa founded Human & Heard to help organisations move sustainability strategy from ambition to implementation — particularly in complex, high-scrutiny environments.

She brings deep experience across sustainability strategy, stakeholder engagement, and ESG, with a track record spanning agri-commodity and natural resource supply chains.

Her work sits at the intersection of business strategy, regulation, and engagement — shaped by hands-on experience in Europe and Asia, from the forefront of EU sustainability regulatory developments to on-the-ground realities in Asia’s agri-commodity landscape.

Janissa leads all client engagements and remains closely involved throughout — ensuring clarity, continuity, and senior-level judgement from start to finish.
