Whether your organization is in need of its first Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) or requires a new CSO perhaps with specialized leadership, Gaia Human Capital has the expertise, bandwidth and tools to attract future-proofing talent.

Future-proofing: Developing methods and processes to minimize the negative effects of future events i.e. climate change, energy security and investment risk.

“Sustainability” is a broad enough term that we can apply it to most aspects of our daily lives and work. But what does it mean to your organization and its stakeholders? Who is tracking your Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions and executing on a plan to reduce them?

Sustainability and ESG strategies can take many different forms, along with the people who lead them.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Such strategies requires a dynamic, inclusive and innovative leader to collaborate cross-functionally and articulate a vision.

Gaia Human Capital partners with clients across a multitude of industries and locations to attract and hire sustainability leaders.

Gaia brings specialized experience in the sustainability space, with credibility is able to attract, assess and recruit top and diverse sustainability leadership across the value chain and public sector from Manufacturing, Service Industries, Raw Materials to Consumer Packaged Goods to the Built Environment / Real Estate.
