Is the Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Profession the Job of the Future?

The growth of corporate sustainability (CSR) over the past decades, along with its positioning as a central element of corporate strategy, has given birth to a new category of professionals, the Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility (CR) professionals. Sustainability professionals are those within companies and organizations that spend most of their time designing and performing activities related to environmental, economic and social aspects. CSE Research from various sources* has shown that since the introduction of the term of sustainable development in the late 1980s, there has been a constant growth to the number of companies with full-time sustainability managers. Especially since 2000 the number of such companies has increased by 400%.

The Time is Now and the Responsibility is Ours: 3 Imperatives to Achieve Gender Parity

Around the world, women are increasing their contributions to social, economic, cultural and political development, but unfortunately, the progress towards gender parity significantly lags behind.

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), 38 years have been added to their global gender parity prediction—that is, in 2014 the WEF predicted perfect gender parity would take place in 2095, and this year (2015) the prediction is pushed back to take place in 2133. The pace of progress is unacceptable and the time for change is now. This International Women’s Day, let’s explore how we can contribute to fostering female equality world-wide.
