Climate change is the single greatest issue facing our generation. The Paris Agreement has put the spotlight on businesses to play their part in transitioning to a more ethical and circular economy. With radical action having been catalysed in Europe, Asia and the Americas, Australian businesses are now experiencing their highest ever demand for sustainability leaders to guide their journey.
The role of the sustainability professional is also evolving, from a single generalist across environmental and social topics, to senior leaders with board-level reporting lines and experts within climate risk, circular economy, community engagement, sustainable product development, ethical sourcing, water stewardship, zero waste and net-zero emissions.
Employees want to work for organisations that truly care about their health, safety and well-being whilst also having the voice to enact change. Work, Health and Safety positions have not always been a standalone function within the manufacturing environment, with parts of the role being divided up. This has led to a shortage of qualified staff and in turn, driven salaries higher over recent years.
