VIDEO: Supporting Sustainability Professionals Working Solo

What happens when you’re the only person working on sustainability in your entire company?

Louisa Hoy, Junior Sustainability Consultant at FuturePlus, spends most of her time supporting exactly these professionals; people with sustainability in their job title but no team around them, or those managing ESG as an add-on to their primary role.

In this conversation, Louisa explains why data alone isn’t enough (you need the guidance and expertise to interpret it), how advisors act as the “angel on your shoulder” when you’re stuck, and why having someone outside the organisation to talk things through with matters when you’re the only one focused on sustainability.

We discuss:

• Why data and human guidance are complementary, not separate
• The reality of being a sustainability team of one
• How shared learnings from other clients help solve common challenges
• What “doing sustainability properly” actually means for different businesses

If you’re working on sustainability alone in your organisation, or considering how to support your team’s ESG goals, this is a practical look at what makes sustainability programs actually work.
