What should you call a company’s sustainability leader?

Despite my frequent conversations about leadership in sustainability, I often wonder who is the leader? What is the leader? And how is the leader defined?

While the term to describe such an indivsidual is chief sustainability officer, rarely is their title Chief Sustainability Officer.

Combined with wooden doors and shutters and the occasional pane of glass, the vertical gardens give the contemporary house a surprisingly calm eco-ethos that is especially great for the children.
