Careers with a Conscience

What It’s Like to Work in Sustainability

Sustainability has shifted from a niche interest to a defining feature of business strategy. Companies of every size now look for ways to reduce environmental impact, create ethical supply chains, and design products with circularity in mind. This evolution has opened new pathways for students eager to align their careers with their values.

Roles in sustainability span across industries. In Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) consulting, professionals guide organizations on meeting reporting standards, reducing emissions, and embedding equity into their practices. Circular business specialists design systems to reuse materials, minimize waste, and close the loop on production. Impact investing professionals direct capital to companies and projects that create measurable positive outcomes alongside financial returns. These fields demand a blend of analytical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, making them ideal for students who thrive on problem-solving and cross-disciplinary work.

To help students gain an inside look at these emerging careers, Sustainability in Business Laurier is hosting a Fireside Chat with Daniel Moll, co-founder of EarthSuds, a company redefining personal care through waste-free, water-soluble products. Daniel will share his journey building a mission-driven business and discuss the skills, mindsets, and challenges that come with working in sustainability.

The event will take place on Wednesday, October 1, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM in Dr. Alvin Woods Building 2-106. Students will have the chance to hear real-world insights, ask questions, and network with peers interested in creating meaningful impact through their careers.

Whether you envision yourself driving ESG initiatives, developing sustainable products, or financing innovative solutions, this session offers practical guidance on how to enter the field and thrive. “Careers with a Conscience” highlights the diversity and excitement of sustainable careers, giving you the tools to start planning your own path.
