LONDON: The number of companies appointing chief sustainability officers (CSOs) jumped three-fold in 2021 year-on-year, a study by consultants PwC shows, although less than a third of all CSOs hold an executive position.
The findings from a survey of 1,640 companies across 62 countries showed the growing demand for dedicated oversight in corporate boardrooms, as firms face a rising number of environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges.
