Green-Hushing, Burnout, and a Crisis of Confidence: Hillbreak Survey Reveals the True State of Sustainability Professionals
The full, definitive findings are in. Join Hillbreak and guests for a live webinar to discuss the critical challenges facing the people driving the sustainability agenda.
The professional sustainability landscape is at a tipping point. While we’ve celebrated significant progress over the last five years, Hillbreak’s latest Sustainability Professionals Experience Survey shows that momentum is stalling, and the human cost is mounting.
On Wednesday, 26 November at 10:30 AM GMT, Hillbreak will present the unvarnished survey results. Miles Keeping and Sophie Carruth will also be joined in the studio by Abigail Dean and Edward Vaughan Dixon for an expert panel discussion.
The Key Takeaways You Can’t Afford to Miss:
The survey reveals a sharp decline in optimism across three key areas: Achieving the SDGs, the readiness of legal frameworks, and whether asset pricing is truly reflecting sustainability credentials.
We’ll dive deep into the paradoxes of the modern role:
- The Valued Role, The Burnt-Out Professional: Roles are more valued than ever, but professionals are experiencing significant burnout and anxiety. Why? And what immediate actions are needed?
- The Risks of High-Stakes Personnel Loss: What ESG & HR disasters await when we lose the intellectual capital of experienced, senior sustainability professionals?
- Progress vs. Stagnation: Where has the momentum of the last five years gone, and why is progress so much slower this year?
- The Silence Problem: Is the industry simply replacing Green-Washing with Green-Hushing? We explore the growing gap between what professionals can do and what their organisations are achieving.
