Korn Ferry Mission, Vision & Values

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Korn Ferry

Whether the role is chief sustainability officer, head of corporate social responsibility, or embedded in other functional organizations such as environmental, health, and safety, a unique combination of technical and influencing skills are needed. Today’s leaders must be capable of responding to tighter regulations, meeting consumer-driven expectations for sustainability, practicing environmental and corporate responsibility, and managing the economic and social consequences associated with supply chain pressures of decreasing availability of natural resources.
