Step ChangeESG & Sustainability Jobs

Focuses on sustainability consulting and carbon footprinting.

StepChange Consulting is an independent management consultancy focused exclusively on the forestry, fiber, and paper value chain - covering timber, pulp, paper, packaging, converting, printing, and related financial sectors. The firm works with top-tier organizations on strategy development, operational performance improvement, turnaround management, supply chain transformation, M&A integration, and organizational design. Its international team of industry specialists brings direct sector experience rather than generalist consulting backgrounds.

Why it matters

The forest and paper value chain sits at the intersection of land use, carbon sequestration, and the shift away from fossil-fuel-based packaging materials. Consultants who understand this sector's specific dynamics - fiber sourcing, sustainable forestry certification, circular packaging design, and procurement of strategic raw materials - play a role in shaping how these industries manage environmental and operational trade-offs. StepChange's stated focus on "sustainable value" and its deep specialization in forestry and fiber supply chains positions it to support clients navigating both business performance and sustainability pressures in a sector under significant regulatory and market scrutiny.
