Sustainability / ESG consultants provide strategic advice on integrating ESG factors (environmental, social, governance) into business operations and investments. They work with organisations, or their clients, to assess current practices, develop ESG strategies, and implement initiatives that align with regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.
Consultants may specialise in areas such as corporate sustainability, climate risk assessment, or responsible investment strategies. Typical subsectors include consulting firms, investment banks, and corporate advisory services.
Consultants can progress to Senior Consultant, Manager or Partner in sustainability consulting practices.
