What are ESG Managers?

ESG Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing a company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. They ensure that business operations align with sustainability goals, ethical standards, and regulatory requirements. Their duties often include developing ESG strategies, monitoring performance, reporting progress to stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with relevant ESG frameworks. ESG Managers play a crucial role in helping organizations improve their social responsibility and long-term sustainability.
