Empowered Chief Sustainability Officers

Sustainability used to be disconnected from important business decisions and typically revolved around minimizing safety or reputational risks for the company. Today, companies all over the world are rapidly increasing their focus on ESG issues. Yet many executives feel uncertain about what action to take and simply don’t know where to begin.

That’s where the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) can make a difference. In this new research, we explore the expanding role of the CSO within the organization and how these executives increasingly find their opinion valuable not only in compliance, but also HR, strategy and even finance.

This report reflects on our research and draws upon expert opinion from leading CSOs to review the current CSO landscape and provide recommendations on how to design an ESG governance framework that will supercharge your ESG transformation.
