Book Introduction

The realm of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has evolved significantly in recent years, both in its scope and in its relevance to the global job market. The integration of ESG factors into business strategies, investment portfolios, and policymaking has expanded the potential for sustainable economic development. With this convergence, new and specialized career opportunities are burgeoning in the ESG sector. Emerging Jobs in the ESG Space: A Comprehensive Guide to Sustainable Career Opportunities is designed to be a definitive source for understanding this evolving landscape.
