September Update: Sustainability Jobs Market in the UK

The sustainability job market in the UK has seen significant growth in September, with roles up 17% since the start of the year and 22% compared to last month. Despite being slightly lower than the peak in July, overall job vacancies are averaging 15% higher over the past three months compared to the first half of the year.

Jonathan Heart Smith, ESG Rec’s lead expert, explains that this increase may be linked to companies gearing up for sustainability reporting requirements and more stability post-election. Additionally, with 20% of the sustainability workforce having moved in the past year, new leadership roles are emerging, and teams are expanding.
