Skills Insights
Context-specific behaviours
Every skill at every maturity level, described with observable behaviour specific to your sector and department. The most granular future-skills taxonomy in the market.
GICS Sectors
Aligned to global standard
Energy, Materials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Health Care, Financials, IT, Communication Services, Utilities, Real Estate, Public Sector & Education. The same classification investors and disclosure standards use.
Departments
Every function covered
From Finance to Procurement to IT to the Board. Not just the sustainability team. Every function that carries regulatory obligation or commercial exposure.
Sub-Pillars
Climate Fluency, AI Skills, Future Mindset
Seven sub-pillars each. Climate Fluency (carbon, net zero, supply chain decarbonisation, circular economy, nature, sustainability reporting, green finance). AI Skills (literacy, data, decision-making, automation, ethics, analytics, gen AI). Future Mindset (systems thinking, adaptive leadership, stakeholder engagement, resilience, collaborative innovation, inclusion, foresight).
Maturity Levels
Explorer to Pioneer
Each defined by what a person actually does. A Collaborator produces a GHG Protocol-compliant inventory. A Changemaker owns the process and trains others. Precision, not opinion.
Frameworks
CSRD to GRESB
CSRD. ISSB (incorporates TCFD). UK SRS. SECR. SBTi. CDP. SFDR. ESOS. Modern Slavery Act. EU CSDDD. SEC Climate. California SB 253/261. CMA Green Claims. EPR. PPWR. CBAM. EU AI Act. EU ETS. EUDR. MEES 2030. EU Empowering Consumers. PPN 006. NHS Net Zero. GRESB. Every skill traced to the specific clause that demands it.
Not a survey.
SkillSignal™ defines skills by observable behaviour. Maturity levels are set from evidence, not self-assessment.
Not a content library.
Every skill maps to a regulatory requirement, department, and maturity target. It prescribes what to build, where, and by when.
Not a consultancy project.
A Big Four assessment costs £50k-£200k and delivers a PDF. SkillSignal™ delivers a living intelligence layer at a fraction of the cost.

How we built it.
Four evidence sources. Cross-referenced. Validated by industry experts. Updated continuously.
01
Regulatory analysis
Every skill is anchored to a specific clause, section or requirement across 24 frameworks. CSRD ESRS E1, SBTi Target Validation Protocol Section 7.2, EU AI Act Annex III. Regulation-grade specificity, not generic ESG.
02
Workforce intelligence
LinkedIn Global Green Skills 2025, WEF Future of Jobs 2025, ManpowerGroup ESG Talent, CDP sector disclosure, Deloitte Global Human Capital. Hiring momentum, demand patterns and disclosure quality, by sector.
03
Sector application
Twelve GICS-aligned benchmark models. Each sector has distinct regulatory exposure, emissions profile and capability baseline. The same skill means different things in Energy and Financials, and SkillSignal™ captures that.
04
Practitioner curation
Every maturity level reviewed by sustainability, AI and people-strategy experts. Observable behaviour, not self-reported confidence. A Collaborator in Carbon Accounting produces a GHG Protocol-compliant Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory.
You don't need to build it. You use ours.
Direct access
When you work with Sustained Futures you tap into 18 months of curated IP from day one. No procurement of a separate framework. No licensing fees. No content gaps.
Living intelligence
We update SkillSignal™ continuously as new regulations land, new workforce data arrives, and our industry experts observe shifts in client engagements. You don't buy a snapshot. You stay current.
Disclosure-grade specificity
Replaces a £50-200k Big Four sustainability capability assessment with a regulation-grade intelligence layer your team uses every day, not a PDF that sits in a drawer.
