Does reducing a carbon footprint, combating child labor in complex value chains and European environmental legislation also get you hot? And do you believe that improving the world is not just a matter of talking, but of doing? Then we are looking for you! As an ESG consultant at Empact, you’ll work with our clients to build a more sustainable, fairer and brighter future.
Your role in brief
As an ESG Consultant at Empact, you will make a difference for our clients on environmental, social and governance issues. You analyze performance, advise at the strategic level and, together with the client, ensure that your plans are implemented throughout the organization. This requires from you not only a solid professional knowledge in the field of ESG, CSRD, CSR and CSDD, among others, but also the necessary communication skills. After all, humans are creatures of habit, and change does not happen by itself. That makes your role challenging. But you are certainly not alone: with us, you work in a team of experienced and enthusiastic ESG professionals. Many of these experienced ESG professionals are self-employed with Empact. There is also a core team, which you will be part of.
We are Empact
Empact is a boutique consulting firm in the field of ESG. We advise both large corporations and government agencies on all aspects of ESG transformation. We do this based on a systematic and proven ESG consulting approach, combined with smart project and change management tools. What is important to us is that our clients have genuine sustainable ambitions. So with us you will never participate in greenwashing. On the contrary: we
see it as our role to empower clients themselves to make real sustainable impact. In that way, we accelerate the sustainable transition and make the world a little better every day.

This is what you bring
- A deep-rooted awareness that the world is in transition to get the skewed relationships right again and the inner strength to participate in this.
- A master’s degree in a relevant field. And often many fields are relevant, so not only economics but also engineering and social sciences masters can fit.
