Job Description & Summary
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is a term that covers a range of issues facing the world today. At PwC, it’s an opportunity to have a purposeful career and to positively contribute to one of the most pressing problems of our time by helping to reshape the whole economy and the society in which we live.
With speed, collaboration, and imaginative thinking we’re helping our clients to build trust in the climate transition. In particular, we’re building trust by strengthening the credibility of non-financial and climate reporting, by focusing on the importance of sustainable and fair transitions to net zero and helping our clients achieve such transitions, by ensuring that our own business is ready to meet the challenges of the climate transition, and by sharing our own transition-related experiences with our clients.
As part of The New Equation, PwC is investing $12bn globally over the next five years, creating over 100,000 new jobs with a particular focus on strengthening our ESG capabilities across the firm. We’re working to combine our world-leading Sustainability & Climate Change practice with our market-leading consulting services, bringing the best of our firm together to help our clients.
