The story of kandu
kandu is built on over a decade of experience leading environmental compliance programs serving some of the world's largest industrial operations, from national aviation infrastructure to major mining companies and global automotive manufacturers. As an ISO lead auditor overseeing multinational compliance systems and subcontractors, Mariyam has deep expertise in compliance and organisational systems.
Through this experience, she discovered that technical expertise alone wasn't enough.
This realisation, combined with witnessing her favourite reef disappear, led her to found kandu sustainability, transforming complex sustainability concepts into accessible, actionable frameworks.
Today Mariyam collaborates with sustainability and behaviour change specialists to bring kandu's methodology to organisations across Australia and beyond. Teaching is something that genuinely loves and she enjoys sessional teaching at Monash University focusing on innovation for impact and carbon strategies.
