Sustainability, ESG & Impact
ESG Analyst
Capital flows toward the companies investors trust, and ESG analysts shape that trust by examining what businesses actually do beyond their financials. The work means measuring carbon footprints under the GHG Protocol, reading sustainability disclosures critically, running climate-scenario analyses, and assessing whether a company's stated commitments hold up against its operating reality.
Students who care about climate and social outcomes, and who also enjoy reading dense regulatory text, tend to thrive here. A strong analyst writes the kind of report a portfolio manager can defend in front of regulators.
You grow into the role through accounting and finance fundamentals, climate science literacy, and SQL skills for pulling ESG data at scale. The field is becoming central to how capital gets allocated.
