The Rochester market for Chief Sustainability Officers
Rochester is an optics, imaging, and precision-instruments market with a strong research university presence and a healthcare system anchor.

- 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
