The role of sustainability officers

Sustainability know-how – 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, naysayer, project developer, and persuasive agent, 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. In this challenging field of work, tailored personal and professional support is needed.

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 “fitness program” is tailored to you personally. In any case, it is always focused on results, motivating and challenging – and thus empowering.
