Being a Sustainability Manager is more than just a job, it’s a lifestyle and a mentality.

Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work because you are so absorbed in this mission.

Those who are most successful in this position are the people who understand that delivering sustainability is a part of their character and not just a means of getting paid.

The most successful also understand they cannot do it alone, that sustainability is achieved via collaboration.  Which subsequently means collaborative skills are top of the list. 

In the past being successful has also been about the long game and waiting for the planets to align...but this has to change.
