Is The Chief Sustainability Officer

Is the Chief Sustainability Officer the next step to becoming CEO? We are seeing the role of Chief Sustainability Officer grow in importance in many organisations, as corporate business shifts towards sustainability and investors look for more sustainable options.

A few weeks ago leading investment company Blackstone, asked executives in companies controlled by its private equity arm to regularly report on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters to their boards, according to Reuters.

The importance of sustainability has shifted the focus and development of this role, giving it significant weight and opportunity at the C-Suite.

We can be sure to see more opportunities arising across sustainability, a move which might be a smart one for any budding future CEO.
