Prof. Franzisca Weder and her team just published the final report of their analysis of the jobmarket for sustainability and DEI managers, their (self-defined) role in organizational and corporate contexts and the impact of communication in them taking agency for sustainability.
 

The results in a nutshell:

• massive increase of sustainability related roles on the job market

• sustainability management isn't a profession - yet

• vast range of official roles, from #reporter or commissioner to manager

• vast range of self-defined roles, from #expert to influencer, storyteller and boundary spanner

• competences and skills needed:
  - expertise in one key area
  - issue affinity
  - intrinsic motivation and passion
  - willingness to disrupt and to "step on the CEO's toes"

Report attached – questions, feedback and ideas are more than welcome, please get in touch:
