Reporter, Sustainable Business

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a resourceful, energetic writer to cover corporate sustainability. This beat offers the opportunity to write smart analysis about a subject that is right at the top of global executives’ list of priorities. The new climate bill has pushed climate, ESG and sustainability related issues to the forefront of business policy and strategy. Investors are scrutinizing companies’ environmental, social and governance performance. Regulators are mandating new non-financial disclosures. Customers want to know that companies are doing good, not just doing well. You will chronicle the new opportunities and pitfalls awaiting businesses as a result. As a reporter writing for WSJ Pro Sustainable Business, you will write about companies trying new things, like setting up circular business models, and puzzling over what to do with profitable businesses that are suddenly out of favor with environmentally conscious investors. This position is based in New York and will report to the editor of WSJ Pro Sustainable Business.
