ABOUT US
What is the Outsourced Chief Sustainability Officer (OCSO) service?
We partner your business with an experienced sustainability professional to provide ongoing advice and support in all aspects of sustainability, including:
- Building a credible roadmap to net zero
- Developing and embedding a sustainability strategy (covering all aspects of ESG)
- Acting as a critical friend to the board
- Preparing the business for mandatory reporting
Who is this for?
The OCSO service is designed for growing and established mid market businesses that want to make progress on sustainability but don't yet want, need, or can't find, a full-time Sustainability Director or Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO).
How is this different to hiring a consultant?
We provide ongoing expert sustainability advice and guidance as you need it - this is not project based. Crucially, we become part of your business - we are not consultants trying to upsell you more work - we are on your side, working with you. Read more about our team here.
How does it work?
One of our sustainability experts becomes part of your leadership team on a fractional basis to develop and drive your sustainability strategy.
A fractional leader is one who divides their time between several businesses, providing each business with top-level expertise for a fraction of the price. Fractional is also known as on-demand, part-time, plural, or portfolio.
Two heads are better than one
Every OCSO is hand-picked because they have 20+ years of experience and a broad knowledge of sustainability across different sectors. But signing up to the OCSO group means you also get access to the knowledge of the wider OCSO collective. So if your OCSO is not an expert on a particular challenge you face – someone in the collective will be. Read more about the team here.
What are the benefits?
- Access to a seasoned sustainability professional (and the collective knowledge of the OCSO group) at a fraction of the cost of hiring an FTE
- Flexible service offering with no minimum term
- Ensure your business is future fit and positioned for growth / resilience / investment
What is the commitment?
Because we are confident in the value we can add there is no lock in or minimum term commitment. You can tell us to stop at any point. It’s as simple as that. We are also fully engaged with a programme of knowledge-sharing and training to develop sustainability expertise in your business.
