What is a Fractional CSO?

A Fractional Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) is a dedicated resource for your organization who can provide strategic guidance, lead organizational change, and address data systems design & optimization. Your CSO will act as an experienced in-house CSO but works on a part-time or project basis as determined by your company. The goal is to help your company scale fast without the commitment of bringing on a full-time employee.

Why hire a Fractional CSO?

The main reasons a company chooses to hire a fractional Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) over an in-house CSO are: to maximize experience; to ramp up quickly; for a temporary situation; or because they require deep expertise and immediate response to tackle a pressing sustainability project.

How do you select the right ESG consulting firm?

The success of your ESG program relies on selecting the right ESG consulting firm to partner with. Critical factors to consider when choosing a consulting firm include its proficiency, experience, and performance track record. Moreover, it’s essential to evaluate the consulting firm’s methodology and approach, as well as its capacity to provide ongoing support and monitoring. One other vital consideration when selecting an ESG consulting firm is to assess its cultural compatibility. ESG consulting firms work closely with clients, so it’s crucial to choose a firm that aligns with your organizational values and culture.

What services does an ESG consulting firm offer?

ESG consulting firms provide a range of services focused on assisting companies and investors to integrate ESG and sustainability factors into their business operations. Services offered by these firms include: ESG and climate risk assessment and analysis ESG strategy development and implementation ESG monitoring and reporting, stakeholder engagement ESG ratings and rankings and performance improvement Greenhouse gas measurement and carbon footprint analysis Product lifecycle management and footprint analysis Diversity, equity, and inclusion consulting ESG reporting
