If you are working in the Sustainability / CSR sector then the you might have experienced the problem of getting reliable salary information for jobs in this sector.
Acre Resources, a recruitment agency in London/UK, realized this and started the so called CSR Salary Survey last year. This survey was only UK wide but still provided very useful sector salary information.
This survey was such a success that this year Acre Resources is looking to build on this information and is looking to get an even clearer picture of the changes that occurred in CSR sector in the last 12 months.
Here are some interesting factoids from the last survey:
Remuneration
- Median salary range was £40-60,000
- 8% of respondents earned £100k or more with 5% of respondents earning £100k+ and £25k+ bonuses
- Consultants less well paid on average than those working elsewhere and lower salaries not offset by larger bonuses
Gender
Responses split roughly 50:50 between male and female but…
… disproportionately more women in lowest pay bands and fewer in highest
Location
Overwhelmingly concentrated in London and SE
Career history
- 56% switched from another role
- Only 5% stated this was their first job
- Overall, two thirds of respondents in current role for three years or less
Qualifications
Two thirds had a first degree (with 21% in CR related discipline) and just under half had masters/PhD (30% CR related)
