We can help you with your climate strategy
At ZeroMission , you can hire an experienced climate strategist on a part-time basis or as needed. With over 20 years of experience working on climate issues, our sustainability consultants have in-depth knowledge of matters related to corporate climate and sustainability efforts.
• Flexible resource
• In-depth expertise in climate issues
• Support with everything from regulations to practical implementation
Why hire a climate consultant from ZeroMission?
Developing and gaining buy-in for an effective climate strategy often requires more capacity or specialized expertise than is available in-house—especially as the demands from customers, owners, and regulators grow in tandem. By hiring a climate consultant, you gain access to someone who has already tackled similar challenges at other companies, without having to commit to a permanent position.
By hiring expertise as needed—part-time, on a project basis, or as an interim solution—you avoid compromising on either speed or quality in your climate efforts.
What can we help you with?
For example, a sustainability consultant from ZeroMission can:
• Develop or update the company’s climate strategy, including goals, a roadmap, and priority actions
• Lead or support ongoing sustainability efforts during a vacancy, parental leave, or a growth phase
• Establish internal processes for climate calculations, reporting, and follow-up
• Serve as a sounding board for the management team and board on strategic climate issues
• Ensure that work on the climate strategy aligns with requirements such as CSRD, VSME, and Science Based Targets
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Climate Consultant
What does a climate consultant actually do?
-
A climate consultant helps your company understand, reduce, and communicate its climate impact. This can involve everything from developing a climate strategy and conducting climate calculations to implementing concrete reduction initiatives and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Is there a difference between a climate consultant and a sustainability consultant?
-
In practice, these concepts often overlap. At ZeroMission , our climate and sustainability consultants have broad expertise that covers both strictly climate-related areas—emissions calculations, climate targets, carbon credits—and broader sustainability efforts related to reporting, governance, and stakeholder dialogue.
How long does an assignment usually last?
-
It ranges from shorter, one-off projects—such as a gap analysis in preparation for CSRD —to longer interim assignments lasting several months, when a climate strategist is needed as a temporary replacement within the organization.
