<<<<REGISTER HERE>>>>You hear the term Sustainability Consulting and think, "Sounds like an interesting job. Can I do it? Should I do it?"
According to Hunter Lovins, “Sustainability consultants, at their best, make the case for radical innovation. They can push a company to take steps that may be unpopular but that make solid business sense, and that address the fundamental roots of environmental and social challenges.” What skill sets are required to drive this kind of change? What are the different types of opportunities in sustainability consulting?
Hear from leading sustainability consultant Laura Gitman about careers helping organizations along their sustainability journey. She'll be joined by Bard MBA in Sustainability students and alumni who also work in sustainability consulting.
