At Marquard Consulting, we deliver due diligence that goes beyond ticking boxes. We combine a high-level understanding of regulatory intent with practical insight into the environments where compliance must work.
Jens Marquard Sørensen, founder and director, has led risk investigations and compliance reviews for governments, Fortune 500 companies, and international institutions. But what truly sets us apart is Jens’ dual experience:
As a legislative contributor to frameworks like STCW (IMO) and anti-corruption policy
And as a field advisor managing compliance challenges in politically unstable and high-risk regions
We Know the Rules—Because We've Helped Write Them
Due diligence is increasingly governed by a web of national, EU, and global regulations. We specialise in aligning your processes with:
EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)
Sanctions, AML, and anti-bribery legislation (EU, Danish FSA, FATF)
Maritime-specific laws (IMO, SOLAS, ISM, MARPOL, STCW)
Supply chain and human rights frameworks (OECD Guidelines, UNGPs)
Sector-specific standards in finance, logistics, defence, and energy
With Jens’ insider knowledge of regulatory intent and negotiation processes at IMO and EU level, we help you:
Spot red flags others miss
Avoid superficial or box-ticking approaches
Design defensible due diligence that stands up to auditors, boards, and stakeholders
From Paper to Practice
Having worked in environments where policy must translate into action—from pirate-threatened shipping lanes to multi-million-euro international transactions—Jens understands how due diligence must be practical, not just technical.
Whether you're:
Entering a new market
Vetting a partner or M&A target
Managing sanctions exposure
Responding to investor pressure on ESG and ethics
Or seeking to future-proof your supply chain governance
