Ceyda Özgün, based in Türkiye, is an experienced impact and sustainability practitioner who has provided consultancy services to private-sector, public-sector and non-profit organisations since 2014. Her experience includes impact analysis and reporting, sustainability reporting and integrated reporting, and she has also delivered training on the SDG Impact Standards. 

Anindita Sharma, based in Singapore and working across APAC, South Asia and internationally, is the founder of Aartha, an impact measurement and management consultancy, and Regional Director at the ROI Institute. She has over 25 years of private-sector experience across APAC and the USA, supporting organisations to design, measure and value projects using data and evidence. She has trained stock-exchange-listed companies on the SDG Impact Standards and supports SDG financing projects through the UNDP expert roster. 

Through a facilitated discussion, the speakers will reflect on their professional journeys, experiences delivering training, and the practical work and resources they are developing. The session will explore lessons learned, challenges encountered, and approaches to applying the SDG Impact Standards in different professional contexts. 

The session will also include a Q&A, providing participants with an opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and explore questions relevant to their own practice.
