The CSR Manager profession

What do CSR managers do?

Ecological and social aspects are not just paid lip service in your company – that is your main task as an ESG or CSR manager. They put ESG issues into practice.

In concrete terms, this means:

Developing a sustainability strategy
Define goals, measures and key figures
Collect all sustainability-relevant data
Get in touch with internal and external stakeholders
Create and communicate a sustainability report
Advising all business divisions on sustainability

Detailed information on the tasks of CSR managers can also be found in our blog post “Sustainability managers: What they do and what they earn”.

Why are CSR managers important?

As an ESG or CSR manager, you play a decisive role in the sustainable transformation of a company. For one simple reason: sustainability affects all areas and processes – and you are where the threads come together.

They analyze all business processes and implement sustainable management as well as environmental and social issues, employee and human rights in the company. They ensure that effective ESG management is anchored rather than individual, disjointed measures being implemented. As a sustainability manager, you will help SMEs in particular to set themselves apart from the competition by focusing on sustainable business practices.

What do CSR managers earn?

Sustainability managers used to be seen as pure idealists. However, this picture has now changed – also in financial terms. Due to the high impact of an effective ESG strategy, good money can be made in this area.

Various surveys show that the average salary of ESG managers in Germany is between 4,000 and 4,200 euros. However, the salary can vary greatly – depending on the size of the company, professional experience and federal state.
