A sustainability consultant is someone who advises businesses on methods to deliver their products or services in a sustainable manner (usually in an ecological sense). This field forms part of corporate social responsibility (CSR), and includes focal areas like "green building, renewable energy, waste management and sustainable development." [1]
Research on the role of sustainability consultants in the UK found that there is a tendency to focus on technical aspects of building energy efficiency, facilities management and renewable technologies, but that consultants were aware of the need to support businesses on the ‘softer’ aspects of sustainability such as organisational culture and values. [2]
Behavioural change initiatives can be effective in reducing emissions, and have multiple benefits including boosting staff morale, [3] while research has found that collaboration between businesses can improve environmental performance. [4]
Online tools are available to support sustainability consultants to broaden their skills. [5]
Certifications associated with sustainability standards include the Zero-energy building (ZEB), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), WELL Building Standard, and Passive Building Design.
