Why Chattanooga companies hire fractional Chief Sustainability Officers

The typical trigger in this market is scaling a freight-tech product, or modernizing operations at an established manufacturer.

  • Enterprise customers or investors are demanding ESG data you cannot produce
  • Disclosure rules apply to you and no one owns the response
  • Carbon accounting is spreadsheet-based and unauditable
  • Supply-chain sustainability requirements are flowing down to you
