An ESG Expert is not simply someone who understands tools, data, and international standards—they are a change leader, creating the right environment for the entire organization to move together on the path toward sustainable development.
They embody three core competency layers:
-
Knowledge & Skills: Deep understanding of international ESG standards, the ability to measure, report, and implement, turning ESG strategies into practical actions.
-
Leadership: Acting as an extension of the leadership team, igniting intrinsic motivation, building trust, and engaging the workforce to practice ESG together—transforming customers and partners into collaborative allies.
-
Cultural Architect: Embedding ESG into the organization’s DNA, turning sustainability principles into habits, behaviors, and shared values across the entire team.
An ESG Expert does more than just “manage data”—they lead people, becoming a source of influence within the organization, fostering connections, sharing responsibility, and helping the team realize the leadership’s sustainability vision.
