Companies are realizing that sustainability and social impact are increasingly important to both their employees and job seekers. Egon Zehnder has recognized this new dynamic and conducted a series of discussions on the critical role that HR plays in fulfilling these responsibilities.
Catherine Zhu, head of the sustainability practice, discusses the green jobs available for students and the workforce at large with the Financial Times.
Rachael De Renzy Channer, Egon Zehnder's Global Head of Sustainability explains how the changing role of the CSO is transforming business.
“As we see businesses trying to integrate sustainability, we’re seeing the role open up more to people who are strategic, people who are transformers, change agents, disrupters, versus perhaps the subject matter experts that were running it before.”
In June 2022, Egon Zehnder held the latest event in its Corporate Governance Exchange (CGX) series, which brings together chairs and Nomination & Remuneration Committee chairs to share insights and challenges for board members who want to increase their strategic impact. This CGX event focused on “ESG and the Role of the Board,” and featured Douglas Peterson, President and CEO of S&P Global, as a guest speaker.
The newly created role marks one of the first formal sustainability leader appointments in the top five global executive search and leadership advisory firms.
