1,000 Chief Sustainability Officers to Know: Latest CSO List Updates

Which businesses and organizations worldwide employ chief sustainability officers (CSOs)? Our global database of CSOs, updated regularly, provides the answers.

First, some background: By 2027, 25% of Global 2000 companies will have assigned a chief sustainability officer (CSO) responsible for meeting their organization’s ESG goals and making ESG-related IT purchasing decisions, according to IDC.

Amid that backdrop, technology partners need to extend their sales, marketing, engagement and support strategies to successfully fulfill those CSO needs, Sustainable Tech Partner believes. Moreover, we expect MSPs (managed IT service providers) and IT consulting firms to introduce managed energy services that drive down customers' IT energy consumption, and optimize power-hungry generative AI applications.

So who are the latest CSOs in our database? Here's our regularly updated list of additions....
