Louisa Hoy, Junior Sustainability Consultant at FuturePlus, works primarily with sustainability professionals who are either a team of one or managing ESG as an add-on to their primary role. It's a growing reality in businesses of all sizes; someone has the job title, but not the team or the capacity to match.

In this conversation, Louisa explains why data-led platforms need human guidance to be effective, how advisors provide the confidence and support to help businesses "do sustainability properly," and why having someone outside the organization to talk things through with matters when you're the only person working on it internally.

We discuss the complementary nature of data and expertise, the challenges of limited capacity when sustainability isn't your main role, and how shared learnings from working across multiple clients help solve common industry challenges.

Whether you're a sustainability professional working solo, a business leader trying to support your team's ESG efforts, or simply curious about how sustainability programs actually work in practice, this episode offers insight into what makes the difference between having a sustainability title and making real progress.
