Mid-career is often a time when professionals seek more purpose and fulfilment in their work. Sustainability roles allow individuals to drive positive change, contribute to a healthier planet, and improve society—goals that resonate deeply with many at this stage of life. This sense of purpose can reinvigorate a career and motivate individuals to pursue financial rewards.
Let’s face it: in mid-career, you know exactly who you are, what you want and why things matter to you. As I look across the market and the impact of AI on the future of work, Sustainability is no longer just a niche field—it has become essential across industries. Organisations are increasingly seeking professionals who can integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies and corporate social responsibility (CSR) into their operations. For mid-career professionals, this shift offers new opportunities to shape their careers toward meaningful, future-focused roles. (de Souza Barbosa, A., da Silva, M.C.B.C., da Silva, L.B. et al.)
