Are you the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) at your organization—either formally or informally? Interested in becoming a CSO in the future? Do you feel prepared to lead your company or non-profit down the road to a sustainable future? Do you have the right tools and concepts to guide you? Do you know how to integrate sustainability into the core of the business, so that all employees are empowered to make good choices?

Sustainability consulting is a hot career choice these days, but it’s a bit like the Wild West—there are no rules, everyone’s trying to stake a claim, and it can be scary for everyone involved. We’ve been doing sustainability consulting for five years, and have made some mistakes and found a lot of success along the way. Now we’ve created a four-part series to help other sustainability consultants. Each 90-minute session takes on a different aspect of the industry, combining key messages with a highly interactive discussion session.

As part of your corporate social responsibility initiatives in greening your business practices, it is important to be an engaged member of your local community. Nowadays many companies sponsor local green initiatives or participate in activities such as tree planting initiatives. There are many ways to engage with your community, and this involvement can be as broad as sponsoring a local carpool service to supporting school Earth Day events.

You’ve done a little research (perhaps taking our Sustainability Consulting 101 webinar) and have decided to pursue a career in sustainability consulting. You’ve put out feelers, but aren’t yet successfully marketing yourself. You might be wondering if you’ve positioned yourself correctly, and hoping that a long list of clients is just around the corner. Now it’s time to hone your services and make sure your offerings are aligned with current market drivers.

The practice of sustainability reporting is becoming more evident with the increase of entries of sustainability reports into internationally recognized awards competitions and a growing number of prominent companies, such as those located on the S&P 100 index, issuing sustainability reports. If your company hasn`t written a sustainability report yet but is looking to do so, you will want to get started on the right foot.

Are you interested in using your skills to make the world a better place? Are you passionate about the environment, social justice, and accountability—but not currently in a job where those values are promoted? Whether you’re a recent graduate in search of that first job, or an experienced professional looking to switch careers, the growing world of sustainability consulting has something to offer. But it can also be a confusing, ultra-competitive industry, and nearly impossible to break into without prior experience.
