🌍 Is the green skills gap a recruitment challenge—or a communication one?
On this week’s The Responsible Edge Podcast, I spoke with Jack Porter, Head of Professional Services at Acre, about the evolving role of sustainability recruitment and how businesses can bridge the gap.
💬 “The biggest gap isn’t in reporting or regulatory knowledge; it’s in softer skills like communication and stakeholder engagement,” Jack explained, highlighting the need for professionals who can inspire action and influence change at every level of an organisation.
We also discussed the issue of “greenhushing” (something we're increasingly encountering at The Anti-Greenwash Charter), where companies under report sustainability efforts out of fear. As Jack put it: “Mistakes lead to solutions. Being upfront about challenges can attract innovative talent ready to help solve them.”
It’s a must-listen for anyone navigating sustainability hiring, from recruitment leaders to business executives.
🎧 Tune in now on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts to hear Jack’s practical insights for closing the gap.
