Most Chief Sustainability Officers are new to sustainability and to their role, survey finds
CSOs' responsibilities are growing, yet most are learning on the job.
Half of Chief Sustainability Officers have only been in their current position for one year, and fewer than a third come from a sustainability background, yet their role is fast evolving to become an integral part of the C-suite.
A new report from Imperial’s Leonardo Centre on Business for Society and education provider Emeritus shows that the Chief Sustainability Officer is growing in importance, with half reporting directly to their CEO or executive board.
