Yes, and it is a career change move. A corporate social responsibility manager already covers 22% of what an environmental policy officer is expected to do: 8 skills carry over, 6 of which the environmental policy officer role treats as required.

16 required skills are missing, plus 22 optional ones. They fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by information skills. The single most important is analyse environmental data.

Its learning distance is 78.9 out of 100, which is the career change band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
