DELTA’S SUSTAINABILITY – CSR - CLEAN TECH – ENGOs PRACTICE
Since 2010, the “low carbon” / “green” / “clean” economy has increasingly become our focus.
There is simply no firm in Canada better equipped to fill a role at any senior level than Delta Management.
While many search firms may dabble in some aspects or another of sustainability, clean tech or within the ENGO community, Delta and our CEO are fully engaged in the community every single day, not just on search assignments, but actively partnering with a diverse group of organizations to actually advance sustainability and the clean tech industry in Canada, and to facilitate cross-company and cross-sectoral collaborations through the Canada’s Clean50 program that we founded in 2011. Read more on the Clean50 tab.
Why does that matter to you and filling your position?
Because when we call virtually anyone in the community, they take our call. When we email, they typically respond within hours. When we reach out to discuss an opportunity, they know it won’t be a meaningless or inappropriate call as is often the case with other search firms, and so they respond.
When we ask for referrals to others who might fill a role, or for a reference, people are happy to help. Simply put, no other search firm has those relationships and no other search firm can provide clients with that level of reach or access to the best talent in the country.
Our search expertise in this practice area is primarily focused in three disciplines:
Enterprise Sustainability / Real Property Development:
Roles typically include Chief Sustainability Officer – Vice President – Director – Manager in any of:
- Sustainability / Sustainable Development
- Innovation / Innovation Strategy
- Corporate / Social Responsibility (CSR)
- Smart Building / Building Science
- Employee Engagement
- Energy Efficiency
- Climate Risk
- Environment
- Carbon Accounting / Carbon Pricing
Over the past few years we have developed a particularly strong level of expertise in working with organizations engaged in real property management, investment, development and construction.
Clean Tech:
Canada has an incredible group of clean-tech inventors and innovators, especially focused in fuel cell development, energy efficient building solutions and smart buildings, water treatment, and waste.
Part of Delta’s “value add” is our ability to connect some of those innovators with potential corporate customers, and with financial / investment support, but our primary offering is to help our clients build strong executive, sales and business development teams. We will often consider lower fees combined with equity to help kick start promising start-ups.
Typical engagements include CEO, CTO, COO, Chief Sales / Growth officer, Vice President / Director / Manager of Business Development, Sales and Marketing.
Eco-Focused Charities / NFPs:
Finally, we support the good works of others that promote climate, science or environmental objectives, and offer extraordinarily reasonable fees to eco-focused NFPs (Not-For-Profits) and charities when they look for Executive Directors, and senior team members in larger organizations.
Delta often offers such organizations the opportunity to pay a substantial portion of our fees in the form of equivalent in-kind sponsorship credits. i.e. we “pay” for (and are credited with) a silver level gala sponsorship by extending a matching fee discount.
