Our Story
CSR Talent Group was formed to help all companies access the CSR, ESG and Sustainability expertise they need – IN ONE PLACE – to address the rising demands from all their stakeholders.
After working in the field for decades, Tom Knowlton and his colleagues realized that while the CSR world was dominated by a small number of well-known companies doing the heavy lift, the vast majority of companies were not able to access the support they needed to either start, grow or see their CSR, ESG or Sustainability initiatives to fruition.
Easy to find, agile, specialized and affordable experts – for all size companies – were the missing pieces to the puzzle.
