Sustainability consultant

Sustainability consultants advise organisations on reducing their environmental impact and operating more sustainably. The work involves assessing operations, identifying material risks and opportunities, developing strategies and targets, navigating organisational dynamics, and reporting on progress to stakeholders.

They work for consultancies and advisory firms. The role suits knowledgeable, persuasive people who can combine environmental expertise with business understanding, identify what really matters for an organisation, and drive change by working through the politics and practicalities of getting companies to act on sustainability.
