The role of sustainability managers

Sustainability expertise – comprehensive and very detailed, good communication skills, business knowledge, an extensive network (internal and external), strategic vision, project management experience, stakeholder management, tact and sensitivity, and the ability to alternate between being a subject matter expert, motivator, devil’s advocate, project developer, and passionate advocate, to name a few.

The people who promote sustainability in a company need to have a wide range of knowledge and skills. In addition, the topics are complex, and the tasks and roles are dynamic or often not yet clearly defined. That’s why tailored personal and professional support is essential in this demanding field of sustainability management.

For many years, this has been a facet of Anke Steinbach’s consulting approach – supporting people in their tasks for a certain period of time or over many years, both professionally and personally. Like a personal trainer. What can this mean for you? You define the goal — and the “training plan” is designed specifically for you. Always results-focused, motivating, and constructively challenging — and ultimately empowering.
