FAQs

What is the difference between the Embedded Sustainability Team and hiring an in-house sustainability professional?

Since 2020, there has been a 19.9% increase in full time employees in sustainability roles. However, global demand for green talent grew twice as quickly as supply between 2023 and 2024. 

The pace of change, and breadth of skills and expertise needed in small and medium-sized businesses cannot be covered by 1 or 2 sustainability professionals alone. Furthermore, it is costly and sometimes slow to find the right people internally and in todays economic climate reducing fixed costs can be a significant advantage.

Seismic’s Embedded Sustainability Team provides a more efficient and cost-effective solution by providing access to a range of experts with diverse skills and experience, eliminating the need for recruitment and training while offering immediate support and flexibility.

How does the Embedded Sustainability Team integrate with our existing team and company culture?

We take a collaborative approach, working closely with you to understand your specific needs, priorities, and company culture. Our experts become an extension of your team, ensuring seamless integration and knowledge transfer. We prioritise clear communication, regular actionable insights, and ongoing feedback to ensure alignment and maximise impact. Operating over a minimum 12-month term, with the flexibility to scale and adapt, your embedded team seamlessly bridges the capability and capacity gap.

What's the difference between hiring a consultant and using Seismic's Embedded Sustainability Team?

While both options offer sustainability expertise, they differ in approach and scope. Hiring a consultant typically provides short-term support for a specific project or task. In contrast, our Embedded Sustainability Team offers a more integrated and long-term solution. We embed a dedicated team of ESG experts within your organisation, providing ongoing support, knowledge transfer, and strategic guidance across all areas of sustainability. This fosters a deeper understanding of your business, enabling us to tailor solutions to your specific needs and drive continuous improvement.

How can the Embedded Sustainability Team help us achieve our specific sustainability goals?

Our Embedded Sustainability Team is tailored to your unique needs and objectives. Whether you’re aiming to reduce your carbon footprint, improve your supply chain sustainability, enhance your ESG reporting, or embed sustainability into your company culture, our team of experts will work with you to develop and implement a customised strategy and plan that aligns with your goals and drives measurable results.
