The Life of a Sustainability Officer

As we see more demand for carbon emission accountability from corporations, we are going to see the need for executive level sustainability directors analyzing the carbon footprint of each aspect of the business. It's not just manufacturing companies that will be required to watch their carbon footprint, but information companies as well. We'll have to take into account the types of transportation our employees use to and from work, the amount of airline travel, and the amount of energy our facilities use and how efficient they are. Sustainability is not some dirty word, rather it is a sound cost-cutting measure and it's good for the planet.
