In it for the mission

We are a mission-oriented company. Our team members are deeply committed to accelerating sustainability, by helping companies gain competitive advantage through more sustainable products, services, and operational practices.

If you are passionate about sustainability, think like a business, and understand the many ways sustainability can create significant business value, we are likely a great fit.

A culture you would expect from a sustainability-focused company

We have always been a collection of bright, talented, energetic, very hard-working people committed to sustainability, and that energy and shared commitment is at the heart of our culture. We challenge ourselves to do better every day, because it is necessary for our collective future, and because we believe helping companies outperform through sustainability advantage is essential to real progress towards sustainable development. Everyone in our business knows they have the opportunity – indeed they are expected – to contribute directly to client successes, and to contribute to innovation within our business. Great ideas get supported. Upward mobility is accelerated in our business, compared to our global consulting peers.

We love being from the region, in the region, for the region. We are a mix of many Arab nationalities, along with a sprinkling of international flavor. We are culturally attuned, it feels good, and it’s a competitive advantage.

If all of this sounds like a match for you, but you need flexibility, we are proud of our track record in providing flexibility in exchange for wonderful talent, such as with working mothers. Our measure of contribution is results, and in our experience individuals requiring flexibility typically generate remarkable results when given the flexibility they need.

of our Team members say that a healthy team environment is one of the main reasons they enjoy working for Sustainability Excellence.

A track record of developing regional sustainability talent and capacity

We are proud of our track record of developing sustainability talent in the region and beyond.

We consider it an honor to see the many wonderful roles and places and accolades our former team members have received and achieved, in the region and beyond. Spending a meaningful amount of time at Sustainability Excellence is a highly regarded attribute for future opportunities in our region. We are also flattered that many of our large global competitors in the region are constantly seeking out our staff… fortunately, our culture wins! When it is eventually time for a change, we are happy to see our people move on to their next opportunity to thrive, and it is always a real delight when we hear back from them.

On our client side, many of our client contact points have gone on to become the first sustainability managers and Chief Sustainability Officers in their companies and in the region. It is extremely rewarding to see our client contact points achieving their own upward mobility, increased job satisfaction and enhanced career potential through their successful work with us.

Opportunity and flexibility

For a small business, we have demonstrated an ability to give our people more opportunities than peers, develop people faster than peers, be more flexible than bigger peers, and genuinely care more for our people than our peers.

Innovation and encouraging initiative

We expect our team members to be switched on, innovation-oriented, agile and efficient. We aim to be a digital first, exponential organisation-minded company. These principles have allowed us to consistently do a lot more than larger peers, even with far fewer resources.

Great long-term outcomes

Succeeding with us translates into long-term personal success. Our best team members eventually move onto many of the few other great sustainability roles in the region, as well as internationally.

Trust

We start from a position of trust, anticipating that our people are responsible, respectful, collaborative, helpful and adaptable in their professional lives.

Diversity and Inclusion

We have a great mix of seasoned experts, mid-career professionals, and young talents.
