Hire the talent driving sustainable transformation
Climate risk, regulatory pressure, consumer demand, technological advances, and global challenges are driving investors and companies to prioritize sustainable practices and impact measurement in their core strategies and operations.
Consequently, the demand for skills in ESG analysis and reporting, sustainable finance, and impact investing is growing faster than the available talent.
Sustainability Talent Demand Outpacing Supply
Between 2023 and 2024, the global demand for green skills increased by 11.6%, more than doubling the supply growth rate of 5.6% in the same period, reflecting escalating recruitment for sustainability roles versus slower skill acquisition among workers 1 6. From 2021 to 2024, demand grew annually by about 5.9%, while supply grew only 3.2% each year, showing a persistent mismatch 1. This gap is projected to accelerate, reaching an 18.7% shortfall by 2030 and potentially more than doubling by 2050, with demand expected to be over 100% higher than supply 1 9.
This imbalance is also reflected in hiring patterns: job candidates with green skills are about 54% more likely to be hired globally, with even higher premiums in the US (80%+) and UK/Ireland (70%-80%) where demand outpaces supply most acutely 3 6 12
