The Environmental Technologies sector is estimated to be a €3,285 billion global market encompassing environmental services, renewable energy, low carbon solutions and alternative materials. While currently Asia accounts for 38% of this total, Europe 27% and the Americas 30%, the entire sector is expected to grow 45% by 2016.

Much of the publicity around Environmental Technologies focuses on the global political community’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of industrialized nations. However, experience tells us that the reality driving this sector is the need for industries to implement sustainable technologies that reduce costs and enhance efficiency, with the further benefit of minimizing environmental impact.

Corporations focusing on Environmental Technologies need leaders able to confront the many unique challenges of a sector that must balance strict environmental sustainability targets, complex economic and regulatory frameworks, high demand for innovation at lower costs with hefty upfront investments in R&D and infrastructure. Leaders in this sector must be able to drive the creation of novel environmental products and services while vigilantly managing best-of-breed functional work processes.

The Process and Converting Industries, Life Sciences and Food Processing sectors in which Borderless has been operating for nearly a decade have long been leading the environmental agenda. The issues confronting these sectors - complex production, energy, logistics, regulatory, large capital investment and complex sales cycles - are on par with those in Environmental Technologies. As a result Environmental Technologies attract a broad base of executive talent from these established sectors .

Borderless consultants know this sector, its challenges and the skills required of executives to meet them. Over the years we have built a global network and gained a wealth of experience successfully identifying and attracting talented executives with the leadership skills that meet the demanding needs of this dynamic sector.
