You may have heard of a fractional CFO or even CEO, typically hired on a part-time or project basis, which can be more cost-effective than hiring a full-timer with a complete compensation package. Bespoke ESG applies this fractional principle to the field of sustainability, which is especially effective given the highly variable, evolving nature of sustainability and impact work.

In a time of resource constraints and real-world demands from investors, consumers, and employees, fractional sustainability helps companies of all sizes get the flexible leadership and support when and where they need it most. 

Organizations of all sizes understand that sustainability programming is a business imperative, but roadblocks keep passionate teams from reaching their goals. We’ve all seen projects get pushed to the next quarter, or a company may avoid setting sustainability goals and miss important milestones.

Small and medium sized companies may not know how to get started or how to best allocate resources, or they don’t have the budget to hire a Lead to build out a fully operational internal sustainability practice. Even mature sustainability practices at large companies have difficulty connecting with the right folks for projects that require specialized knowledge or a quick sprint.

Fractional support is a lynchpin in a pivotal time for climate action and real change, resourcing companies to move them toward action, while developing ESG talent in a remote, flexible context. This approach helps leaders set the sustainability agenda, target the highest value projects, and gain just enough ground-level support to meet their goals.
