Fractional Chief Sustainability Officer
Sustainability is no longer a "nice to have" - it's a business imperative.
Customers, investors, and regulators expect organisations to lead with purpose, resilience and transparency. But building an effective sustainability program often requires deep expertise and leadership that not every company is ready to hire full-time.
Our Fractional CSO services offer your business senior-level sustainability leadership, on your terms. We cater to your needs, tailored flexibly to your size, sector, and strategic goals.
Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO)
Hiring a full-time Chief Sustainability Officer is a significant investment in time, money, and internal resources. But sustainability leadership doesn’t have to come at that cost.
Work directly with Dr Ina Peukes, PhD in Environmental Impact Assessments and founder of auverde.
With decades of international, hands-on experience in ESG strategy, carbon reporting, sustainability certifications (DGNB, Green Star), and stakeholder engagement, Ina offers Fractional CSO services that provide strategic value without the commitment of a permanent hire.
