April 10, 2008 - Global warming. Carbon footprint. Alternative energy sources. Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Green. Sustainability. Environmental topics dominate the news and there is strong momentum world-wide for elevating the stewardship of our planet to new heights. In this country, it is no longer sufficient merely to comply with regulatory requirements. Private enterprise is boldly leading the way. Companies like Wal-Mart are setting audacious goals for a sustainable planet by requiring, for example, that their vendors eliminate waste in production processes as a condition of doing business. So vendor executives are clamoring to become "green" in substance, and they are seeking guidance on what to do and how to transform themselves. This has become an essential strategic business issue in Board Rooms and "C-suites."
Are you a professional consultant with experience in sustainability consulting and a passion for improving the environment? Do you have a solid track record of leading consulting teams in successful client engagements? If so, ERS Global wants you to join our team.
ERS Global, an Atlanta-based, woman-owned company with an outstanding reputation, is a pioneer in the field of corporate environmental sustainability consulting and is in great demand. For over a decade, we've worked with leading companies committed to a more sustainable path. We collaborate with our clients to plan what they need to do, how to do it, then work with them to achieve lasting, measurable solutions for a sustainable world.
The right candidate will be a professional consulting engagement manager with a track record of leading teams to deliver outstanding client value.
