“It felt empowering to know I wasn't the only one feeling that way. It made me feel more motivated and clearer on what I need to work on in myself.”✨
This was what a sustainability professional shared after they heard our research findings about the skills and support needed for sustainability professionals.
📚 There is a lot of focus on the technical knowledge and skills required for sustainability professionals.
🧠 There is less being said or offered to support the development of softer skills needed for sustainability professionals.
To be a sustainability professional who can stay resourced, motivated, and happy and also have a meaningful impact requires:
🌱 Personal resilience
👥 Persuasion and comfort in conflict
...And a supportive environment where managers, leaders and teams in organisations champion, enable and care about the growth and success of sustainability professionals.
Our research explored the experience and state of wellbeing of sustainability professionals. We surveyed 92 sustainability professionals and interviewed 28 of them to understand what challenges they face and what skills and support they need.

One of the most impactful tools for achieving sustainability goals is systems thinking.
In my work as a consultant, researcher and educator, I’ve found that embracing this holistic approach allows leaders to truly understand the complex web of interdependencies within their organisations and outside. It’s not just about identifying isolated problems but seeing how each decision has ripple effects across the entire system.
Some key insights from my work with sustainability strategies include:
**Understanding the bigger picture: Systems thinking helps uncover how processes are linked, revealing both risks and new opportunities.
**Addressing root causes: Often, sustainability challenges are symptoms of deeper, systemic issues. Tackling those root causes is essential for lasting impact.
**Improving efficiency: By looking at the system as a whole, it becomes easier to spot inefficiencies and areas for improvement, whether that’s in waste reduction, energy use, or operational processes.
**Encouraging innovation: When teams collaborate across departments, new, sustainable solutions can emerge that would otherwise be overlooked.
**Building resilience: Organisations can better prepare for disruptions by mapping out the interdependencies in their operations.
These principles are at the heart of the Executing Sustainability Strategies programme, where we work with leaders to apply systems thinking in real-world contexts, helping them drive impactful, sustainable change.
It’s rewarding to see participants leave with not just knowledge, but actionable strategies to lead their organisations toward net-zero and beyond.
