Our Story
Dune Associates LLC was born during a sunrise walk on Dune Road in Westhampton Beach. What started as a casual conversation between founder Daniella Maggio(a lifelong New Jersey beach native)and a manufacturing business owner revealed a glaring gap in the market.
He was struggling with the exact challenge Daniella managed daily for a Fortune 500 company: navigating complex emissions calculations, customer requests, and regulatory compliance. He needed simple, honest sustainability services from someone who actually understood a shop floor. Two weeks later, Dune Associates was founded to provide exactly that.
Daniella Maggio started Dune Associates to make emissions management practical for the people who actually run operations.
She began her career on the floor of a Fortune 500 manufacturing plant, in PPE, troubleshooting production lines and learning inventory management and global logistics firsthand. That's where she saw where emissions data really comes from, and how hard it is to pull together. When her plant manager "volun-told" her to take on the site's sustainability lead role, it stuck: she moved into a corporate role managing the environmental footprint of 200+ global facilities and an annual portfolio of over 8 million metric tons of CO2e.
Her approach is business-first, ROI, lean processes, and operational common sense over jargon. Dune exists to bridge complex global regulations and the practical reality of the shop floor: straightforward, cost-effective emissions management, built by someone who's stood on both sides of it.
