The UN’s sustainable development agenda has prompted many companies, including PageGroup, to reflect on their approach to sustainability. The challenge can be framed in simple terms. How do you build a successful business while at the same time making the world a better, fairer, greener place?

At PageGroup, we aim to do this through sustainable growth. Growth where employees, candidates and clients remain front and center, but importantly go hand-in-hand with the environment, social impact and a solid governance framework. We’re still in the recruitment and talent solutions business, but we’re putting sustainability at the heart of everything we do and helping our clients do the same.

Currently, many companies lack a coherent way to organize Executive Talent Development under the framework of Sustainability. There’s an urgent need to invest in innovative Talent Development Programs with Sustainability in mind.

The current state of ESG and Sustainability in companies

Enterprises that prioritize Sustainability are best placed to attract both Capital and Talent. However, companies must do more than pay lip service to the green revolution. To be worthwhile, Sustainability Goals must be pervasive across all levels of the company.

We surveyed more than 100 companies to find out the current state of ESG and Sustainability. The research revealed that no single figure can lead sustainable transition in a company. There are several different roles within an organization that contribute to the mission.

The infographic we designed to present our findings comprises three main topics:

  • New Professional Roles within Sustainability 
  • The Expanding Businesses
  • The Role of the Head of ESG in Depth

Some of the insights may surprise you! We hope you enjoy the findings.
