Springer NatureESG & Sustainability Jobs
Global publishing company that publishes books, textbooks, and journals in science, technology, medicine, the humanities and social science
Springer Nature is one of the world's largest academic publishers, operating brands including Nature Portfolio, Springer, and BMC. It publishes peer-reviewed journals, books, and databases across science, technology, medicine, and the humanities, serving researchers, universities, governments, and corporations.
Why it matters
For sustainability professionals, Springer Nature is a key node in the knowledge infrastructure that underpins climate and ESG action. Its journals - including Nature Energy, Nature Water, Nature Catalysis, and Nature Reviews Earth & Environment - publish primary research that informs climate policy, clean energy development, and environmental science. The company runs an SDG Programme explicitly aimed at connecting researchers working on global challenges with policymakers and practitioners who need that evidence. It also advances open-access publishing, which makes climate and sustainability research freely available to a wider audience.
Editors hired through this board work directly on journals covering energy transition, water systems, catalysis, and earth sciences - roles that sit at the intersection of scientific publishing and the topics central to decarbonisation and environmental sustainability.
Of the 118 roles we have screened from Springer Nature, 2 are currently classified as sustainability roles and 116 fell outside that scope. See the climate hiring signal for the full breakdown and methodology.

How this is measured
We fetch every open role a company publishes and classify each one with an automated keyword-and-context filter. Roles that match sustainability, climate, environmental, or governance criteria are kept and counted as active; the rest are filtered out. This is one transparent signal of how much of a company's current hiring is sustainability-focused - it is not a verdict on the company, and it reflects only public job postings we have tracked, not the company's full operations.
The classifier is automated and imperfect: it can occasionally mis-classify an individual role, so treat small differences as noise. We only show this signal when we have screened enough roles for the numbers to be meaningful.
