Can CSOs solve the climate crisis? • Written by Acre's Marie Cloherty for Business Leader
In this guest article, Marie Cloherty, Executive Director of Sustainable Business at Acre, discusses what can be done following last year’s COP27 and the lack of action against the climate crisis.
Last year’s COP27 left many feeling flat. I was one of them. And let’s be honest – the conference fell short of any real commitments to decarbonise with the necessary speed and urgency. As global temperatures continue to rise, it’s clear that businesses will need to take the most action to solve the challenges we now face.

1 in 3 young workers turn down jobs if a business reveals weak ESG ratings
Millennials and younger workers are already considered a force to be reckoned with, so it may come as a little surprise that they are turning down jobs with companies that lag behind when it comes to valuing ESG factors.
According to a new study by professional services firm KPMG, businesses lacking robust environmental, social and governance credentials are not appealing to younger prospective candidates who are searching for a more environmentally friendly and purpose-driven role.

Climate change: Hong Kong to pay 30 percent more for ESG jobs as companies fight for talent to meet sustainability targets • With commentary from Acre's Paddy Balfour
According to headhunters, environmental, social and governance (ESG) jobs in Hong Kong could command salary premiums of more than 30 percent as companies strive to meet their sustainability targets and tackle climate change.
With the increasing demand for ESG and sustainability expertise in Hong Kong, local talents can expect salary increments of over 30 percent when switching jobs. In contrast, according to recruitment agency Hays, those relocating to the city from overseas can expect even higher salary increases and potential expat benefits.
