The ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) area has become a strategic pillar for Spanish companies, according to a recent analysis by AdQualis Human Results, a consulting firm specializing in talent management. This field requires collaboration from diverse profiles in areas such as operations, compliance, finance, communication, talent, and institutional relations. In addition to meeting increasing regulatory demands, ESG presents an attractive avenue for attracting and retaining talent.
Sustainability in the professional realm has evolved significantly, incorporating a wide range of professionals seeking to align business objectives with environmental, social, and governance criteria. Within this context, the environmental and governance dimensions have gained more relevance than the social dimension, which is more associated with diversity and inclusion issues.
A study by KPMG and CEOE reveals that 41% of Spanish executives consider sustainability a strategic priority. This trend has increased the demand for professionals specialized in ESG, both among young individuals pursuing purpose-driven careers and executives looking to delve into a crucial area for business competitiveness.
Professionals entering this sector typically start in technical and financial roles related to reporting, auditing, or risk management. From these foundations, they can advance to more strategic positions in corporate communication, institutional relations, or sustainability management, eventually taking on roles such as Chief Sustainability Officer and participating in ESG committees within boardrooms.
Education in sustainability and governance has become increasingly common in business schools, serving as a differentiating factor in developing professionals interested in this expanding field. According to Sergio Hinchado, Chief Commercial Officer of AdQualis Human Results, sustainability has shifted from being a secondary aspect to becoming a strategic driver for organizations, necessitating skilled experts with cross-disciplinary training.
On another note, PwC estimates that ESG-classified funds in the European Union will reach €7.4 trillion in 2024 and could exceed €11 trillion by 2028. This figure suggests that sustainability goes beyond regulations, offering not only career opportunities for professionals but also the need for companies to adapt to this new reality.
AdQualis concludes that companies integrating ESG into the core of their strategy and developing training programs in this area will be better positioned to meet regulatory requirements, attract talent in a competitive environment, and ensure sustainable growth in the long term.
