Expertise
Four markets.
One question: who leads?
The decade that decides
Every one of these dates is a leadership decision.
Scroll, and the marker moves through the milestones the people we place will be judged against.
Standards go live
IFRS S1 and S2 take effect. Climate disclosure stops being optional for the companies that matter.
ReportingFirst CSRD reports
Europe's largest companies publish assured sustainability statements for the first time.
AssuranceInterim targets fall due
EU minus 55%, UK minus 68%. The platforms being built now are the ones that will deliver it.
DeliveryNext round of pledges
New national commitments and, in the UK, a decarbonised power system. The operating decade.
OperationsNet zero
The legal destination. Most of the leaders who will get there have not been appointed yet.
Leadership01 · Energy Transition
Energy Transition
The energy transition is no longer a thesis. It is assets under construction, grids under strain and platforms under investor scrutiny. The leaders who move it forward combine engineering literacy with the commercial instinct to make projects bankable and the operational grip to deliver them on time.
We connect forward-thinking companies with exceptional talent across the energy transition, from renewables and clean technology to sustainability-focused operating roles. We understand this market's pace and place people who can move it forward.

02 · Climate Risk & Reporting
Climate + Risk
Reporting regimes have turned sustainability from a narrative into a set of audited numbers. The people who can own those numbers, explain them to a board and defend them to a regulator are scarce. We know who they are, and we know which organisations are ready for them.
Sustii places senior talent navigating regulatory complexity, corporate reporting and organisational responsibility. Our search, market insight and consulting services connect visionary leaders with organisations serious about long-term impact.

03 · Clean Technology
Clean Technology
Clean technology companies live or die on the step from prototype to production. That step needs leaders who have scaled something before: people who can hold a technical roadmap, a commercial pipeline and a funding round in the same conversation.
Our clients are building the technology behind the energy transition. We partner with organisations pushing environmental and economic viability forward, connecting them with the talent to scale.
Typical mandates
- Chief Executive Officer, scale-upC-suite

04 · Impact Investment
Impact Investment
Impact capital is held to two standards at once, and its people have to be too. We build investment and operating teams for firms that need returns and measurable outcomes, and we are candid about the difference between the two.
We help mission-driven investment firms build teams that deliver both returns and impact, across investment, operations and portfolio support. Our placements are matched for purpose as much as performance.
Typical mandates
- Partner / Managing DirectorLeadership
- Investment DirectorSenior
- Head of ImpactSenior
- Head of Portfolio OperationsSenior
- Operating PartnerSenior
- Head of Investor RelationsSenior
- ESG Director, fundSenior
