This data is based on job postings from around 8,000 recruiters.

More than 25,000 job postings for ESG roles were reported in every quarter since 2022, GlobalData reported. 

In its Job Analytics Database, GlobalData found a sustained focus on ESG roles from around 8,000 recruiters. 

“This sustained focus on ESG-related recruitment reflects a broader shift towards sustainable and responsible business practices,” Sherpa Sripada, Business Fundamentals Analyst at GlobalData, said. 

“Enterprises spanning diverse industries are actively pursuing heightened environmental sustainability, directing their efforts toward diminishing carbon footprints via strategic process enhancements and targeted investments in cutting-edge technologies and advancements.”

In the aviation and defense industry, initiatives such as aviation sustainable transition through Fueling Sustainable Aviation Transition with the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (FAST-SAF), Continuous Lower Energy Emissions and Noise (CLEEN) program, Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI), and Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) are being pushed. 

This requires new emerging technologies, such as zero carbon aviation which have increasingly become a part of the working portfolio. 

“From aviation to technology each industry is making significant strides. This concerted effort not only aligns with net zero ambitions but also underscores a collective dedication to foster positive environmental and social impacts. Together, these diverse sectors are shaping a future where responsible business practices drive innovation and progress,” Sriprada said.
