Shared Sustainability Officer: Your sustainable futur, together!

Who is this for?

  • For small and mid-size businesses (industrial or financial sector) keen on advancing their sustainability goals but aren't ready or can't source a full-time Sustainability Director or Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO).

  • Established sustainability teams seeking a sustainability expert to empower their unit, enhancing capabilities and strength.

Why a Shared Sustainability Officer?

  • You need a Chief Sustainability Officer but are not quite there because you are a small or medium size business (industrial or financial sector) or because you are just a start-up?
  • Evolving Business Landscape: In today's business world, sustainable and responsible practices aren't just beneficial – they're essential. Stakeholders don't merely ask if you're sustainable, they question the depth of your commitment.
  • Sustainability regulations: Europe's Green Deal and accompanying regulations, such as the EU Taxonomy and CSRD, shape an ambitious sustainability path. While these steps are pivotal, they impose significant costs and requirements on companies without them having appropriate resources and skills!
  • Tackling Resource Constraints: It's challenging to source the right expertise. With "The Green CFO", we address this head-on, providing a bridge for companies starting their sustainability journey until they can sustain a full-fledged in-house team or just completing your team with skilled resources.
  • Talent Accessibility: An outsourced CSO offers a gateway to high-tier sustainability talent, previously beyond reach.
