7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Driving Systemic Change at Scale

You'll be working on multi-year transformation programmes, seeing your vision for a more sustainable and ethical business come to life across thousands of employees and dozens of countries.

Leading the company's commitment to a net-zero target, and then seeing the first major capital investments approved to achieve it.

Shaping the Future of Business

Your decisions and strategies will directly influence our market position, investor relations, and our ability to attract and retain top talent, fundamentally altering our long-term trajectory.

Successfully integrating ESG performance into executive compensation, thereby shifting internal priorities and behaviours across the leadership team.

Protecting & Enhancing Reputation

You're the ultimate guardian of our brand and trust. Every day, you'll be making decisions that safeguard our licence to operate and enhance our standing with critical external stakeholders.

Successfully navigating a complex regulatory audit or a high-profile media inquiry with minimal reputational damage, or even enhancing our standing.

What frustrates people
  • The constant battle to secure sufficient budget and resources for long-term ESG initiatives when short-term financial pressures are high.
  • Navigating internal politics and resistance from business units that view ESG as an additional burden rather than a strategic imperative.
  • The sheer complexity and ever-changing landscape of global ESG regulations, making it difficult to maintain a consistent strategy.
  • The challenge of getting accurate, verifiable data from disparate global operations and complex supply chains.
  • Dealing with 'greenhushing' or 'greenwashing' tendencies from different parts of the business, and ensuring genuine, transparent communication.
  • The emotional weight of being responsible for enterprise-wide risks, from major safety incidents to ethical lapses, and the pressure to prevent them.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine – expect constant strategic shifts and crisis management.
  • Direct operational control over all ESG initiatives – much of your work is through influence and strategy.
  • Immediate, tangible results for every project – many initiatives are long-term investments.
  • A role focused solely on 'doing good' without rigorous financial and risk justification.

8Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical for our long-term viability and competitive advantage. The CSRO directly influences our enterprise-wide risk profile, capital allocation decisions, brand reputation, and ability to attract and retain both talent and investment. You're essentially safeguarding our future by embedding responsible business practices and proactive risk management at the highest level.

Inside the business
  • CEO and Executive Leadership Team
  • Board of Directors (especially Audit and Nominating & Governance Committees)
  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Finance Leadership
  • Chief Legal Officer (CLO)
  • Global Heads of Operations, HR, and Supply Chain
  • Investor Relations
Outside the business
  • Institutional Investors and ESG Ratings Agencies
  • Government Regulators (e.g., FCA, HSE, environmental agencies)
  • Industry Bodies and Trade Associations
  • External Auditors and Assurance Providers
  • Media and Public Interest Groups
  • Key Strategic Partners and Major Customers

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record of 20+ years in senior leadership roles within compliance, quality, health, safety, or sustainability, with significant experience interacting with executive leadership and boards.
  • Demonstrable experience in designing and implementing enterprise-wide ESG strategies and integrated risk management frameworks for complex, global organisations.
  • Extensive experience managing P&L (indirectly through risk mitigation and value creation) and overseeing large functional budgets and teams.
  • A deep understanding of global ESG reporting standards (GRI, SASB, TCFD) and major regulatory frameworks (e.g., CSRD, SEC Climate Rule).
  • Experience in leading crisis management and communicating effectively with media and external stakeholders during high-pressure situations.
  • A strong network within the ESG and risk community, including investors, regulators, and industry thought leaders.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Blockchain for Supply Chain Traceability & ESG Assurance

Important within 24 months. As supply chain due diligence becomes more stringent and demands for verifiable ESG data increase, blockchain offers a tamper-proof ledger for tracking product origins, certifications, and compliance data, enhancing transparency and trust.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) · Smart Contracts for Compliance · Traceability Use Cases · Interoperability & Scalability

  • This quarter: Research leading blockchain-for-supply-chain platforms and their relevance to our industry.

  • Next 12 months: Sponsor a proof-of-concept project for a specific high-risk commodity or product line.
  • Ongoing: Monitor industry consortia and standards bodies developing blockchain solutions for ESG.

Quick win: Attend a webinar or executive briefing on blockchain in supply chain to grasp the basics and potential applications without deep technical dive.

Advanced Investor ESG Engagement & Proxy Advisory Tools

Critical within 12 months. Investor engagement on ESG is becoming highly sophisticated. You'll need to understand how major institutional investors and proxy advisory firms (e.g., ISS, Glass Lewis) analyse our ESG performance and how to strategically engage with them using their own data and tools.

Proxy Voting Guidelines & Policies · ESG Data Aggregation & Benchmarking Platforms · Shareholder Proposal Analysis · Engagement Strategies for Activist Investors

  • This quarter: Schedule direct meetings with our top 5 institutional investors' ESG teams to understand their priorities.
  • Next 6 months: Subscribe to and regularly review reports from leading proxy advisory firms relevant to our sector.
  • Next 12 months: Work with Investor Relations to develop a proactive, data-driven ESG engagement plan for the next proxy season.
  • Ongoing: Participate in investor roundtables and conferences focused on ESG trends and engagement strategies.

Quick win: Review our most recent proxy statement for any ESG-related shareholder proposals or votes, and understand the outcomes and investor sentiment.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Active participation in C-suite level peer networks and industry forums focused on ESG, risk, and corporate governance (e.g., World Economic Forum, WBCSD).
  • Regular engagement with leading academic institutions and think tanks conducting research on future-of-sustainability and emerging risk landscapes.
  • Serving on the board of a non-profit organisation or an advisory council to gain broader governance experience and external perspective.
  • Continuous learning through executive education programmes on topics like climate finance, AI ethics, or geopolitical risk analysis.

  • Advanced Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Regulatory Scanning
  • Generative AI for Scenario Planning
  • Ethical AI Governance

Biodiversity & Nature-Related Financial Disclosure (TNFD)

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

At the C-suite level, your time is your most valuable asset. What if you could reclaim dozens of hours each week, not just for operational tasks, but for deep strategic thinking, proactive risk identification, and impactful communication? Our AI Productivity Hub isn't about replacing your strategic brain; it's about augmenting it, giving you superpowers to navigate the complex world of ESG and enterprise risk.

In the fast-evolving landscape of compliance, quality, health, and safety, staying ahead means making sense of vast amounts of data, anticipating regulatory shifts, and communicating with precision. Our AI tools are specifically designed to offload the heavy lifting of information synthesis, risk scanning, and initial content generation, freeing you up for the critical, human-centric work of vision-setting, influencing, and crisis leadership.

Strategic Insight Synthesizer

Feed our AI models vast amounts of internal data (audit reports, incident logs, employee surveys) and external information (market trends, competitor ESG reports, regulatory updates). The AI will synthesise key insights, identify emerging risks, and highlight strategic opportunities, presenting them in concise, actionable summaries for your review. Think of it as your personal, always-on strategic analyst.

Board Report & Investor Deck Generator

Leverage generative AI, trained on our past board papers and investor presentations, to create first drafts of complex ESG sections for quarterly reports. Just provide the key data points and strategic messages, and the AI will structure the narrative, ensuring consistency, compliance, and a professional tone, saving you and your team countless hours in drafting and review.

Predictive Risk & Regulatory Foresight

Our AI continuously scans global regulatory databases, legal journals, and geopolitical news for signals of upcoming ESG legislation, climate-related litigation, or supply chain disruptions. It provides predictive alerts and impact analyses, allowing you to proactively adjust our enterprise risk framework and strategic plans, rather than reactively responding to surprises.

Crisis Communication & Scenario Planning

In a crisis, every word matters. Use AI to rapidly draft initial holding statements, Q&A documents, and internal communications based on pre-approved templates and real-time incident data. It can also run 'what-if' scenarios, simulating public and investor reactions to different communication strategies, helping you prepare for the toughest moments.
