McKinseyESG & Sustainability Jobs

Global management consulting firm offering strategic advice to corporations, governments, and other organizations.

McKinsey & Company is one of the world's largest management consulting firms, serving senior executives at corporations, governments, and nonprofits across virtually every industry. Its work spans strategy, operations, technology, finance, and organizational change.

Why it matters

McKinsey has a dedicated sustainability and climate practice that advises clients on decarbonization strategy, energy transition, ESG reporting, and climate risk. The firm also publishes widely cited research through the McKinsey Global Institute and its sustainability-focused reports on topics such as net-zero transitions, nature, and the economics of climate change. For job seekers, roles in this practice involve helping large organizations - including energy companies, financial institutions, and governments - develop and execute plans to reduce emissions and manage climate-related risks.

As a broad enterprise, McKinsey's sustainability work is one practice among many. The firm has also made internal commitments around its own carbon footprint, though the core business remains general management consulting at scale.
