The aim of our inaugural Talent Nation Environmental and Sustainability Remuneration Report is simple: to fill a gap that exists in the Sustainability and Environment profession on remuneration across Australia and New Zealand.

We have specialised in the recruitment of Environment and Sustainability professionals since our inception in 2012 and although there is significant anecdotal evidence through the assignments we have undertaken we found that there was a need for validated data across a broad range of industries, roles and locations.

Our aim was to use our extensive networks to give the market, our clients and candidates, insights as to how salaries are structured across different roles from Advisors through to Heads of Departments, and how they vary by industry, region, and gender. By arming professionals with this robust, high quality information, our ultimate goal is to help businesses drive their Environment and Sustainability plans forward by recruiting and retaining the right people.

We have used our extensive networks to obtain robust information across a variety of roles, business types and locations, both in Australia and New Zealand. This level of data will enable you to compare your salary, and that of your team, with those of similar experience both within your sector and across others.

The report provides data on fixed remuneration, incentives, total potential package (as outlined in the employment contract) and total actual package paid based on performance.
