On the occasion of World Environment Day, Indeed, the world’s leading job site, reveals a significant increase in Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) jobs over the past three years. This surge in ESG-related positions demonstrates the growing emphasis on sustainability and corporate responsibility in the Indian job market.
According to Indeed, ESG sector jobs in India have grown by over 223% between April 2019 and April 2023, highlighting a remarkable shift as companies prioritize sustainability efforts. With climate change concerns and the urgent need for diverse and inclusive workforces at the forefront, more firms are adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards to address these issues.
The largest increase in job postings occurred between April 2021 and April 2022, with a growth rate of 109% on the Indeed platform. However, there was a 22% decline in ESG job postings last year, indicating a stabilization following the post-pandemic growth surge.
Interestingly, jobseeker interest in sustainability roles has experienced positive growth, with a 31% increase in job searches between April 2022 and 2023, marking the highest growth in the past three years. Overall, there has been a 13% rise in jobseeker interest in sustainability and allied fields, indicating a growing demand to work in these areas.
Sashi Kumar, Head of Sales, Indeed India, attributes the growing demand for ESG professionals to rising consumer expectations and companies need to enhance their brand reputation. Employers are actively seeking individuals with expertise in sustainable practices, environmental science, conservation, and corporate social responsibility.
Similar trends are observed in other Southeast Asian countries like Singapore and Malaysia, which experienced a 146% and 139% increase in ESG job postings, respectively, over the past three years. Although there was a decline in the last year, both countries witnessed strong growth in job seeker demand for ESG roles.
The rise of ESG jobs on Indeed’s platform reflects Indian businesses’ expanding awareness and commitment to creating a greener and more socially responsible future. This notable shift in approach recognizes that environmental and social sustainability is crucial for long-term success.
