How to Apply for Corporate Sustainability and Climate Change Consultant

at Environmental Resources Management

🏢 About Environmental Resources Management

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a global sustainability consultancy with deep expertise in accelerating low-carbon transitions and ESG implementation across industries. What makes ERM unique is their strategic approach combining technical rigor with on-ground implementation, particularly in emerging markets like Southeast Asia. Someone might want to work here to be at the forefront of corporate sustainability transformation with a firm that has global reach but local presence in Bangkok.

About This Role

This Corporate Sustainability and Climate Change Consultant role involves leading ESG projects across Southeast Asia, developing climate strategies like net-zero roadmaps and GHG reduction plans, and implementing corporate sustainability programs. It's impactful because you'll directly shape how regional businesses transition to low-carbon economies while addressing critical ESG priorities in a rapidly developing market.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing client GHG data to develop reduction pathways, drafting a sustainability report using GRI Standards for a Thai corporation, and collaborating with regional teams on a circular economy program implementation. You'd likely split time between technical analysis, client meetings, and project coordination across Southeast Asian markets.
