Chief Sustainability Officers: More Information
The chief sustainability officers listed above are typically VP, senior VP, executive VP or C-level executives. You'll also notice that quite a few of the CSOs wear multiple executive hats -- often in HR (human resources), marketing, finance, public relations, community affairs, and/or corporate communications.
Why Publish a CSO List? Our goal with the list above is to connect technology partners with CSOs who need sustainable technology, business and energy guidance.
Indeed, our core readership includes partners that recommend, deploy, monitor and manage IT (Information Technology), OT (Operational Technology), cloud and energy solutions that fulfill net-zero carbon emission goals. Our platform empowers sustainability partners, consultants, technology vendors and CSOs to find and engage one another in a quest to deploy sustainable technology solutions.
