Sustainability Executive Search & ESG Recruitment
Sustainability and ESG-focused functions play a critical role in embedding a new lens for assessing and transforming company strategy, operations and culture.
ESG and sustainability has emerged as a critical strategic focus for organisations, serving as a catalyst for attracting talent and fostering innovation. The scope of sustainability now encompasses a variety of pressing concerns. These include climate change, biodiversity, decarbonisation, the circular economy, human rights within supply chains, and the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. As companies increasingly confront the challenge of establishing effective sustainability initiatives, a common initial measure is the appointment of a chief sustainability officer (CSO). This individual is responsible for spearheading the sustainability transformation by collaborating across the organisation to tackle significant issues and ensure the business is well-positioned for enduring success.
