International executive search firm Borderless Executive Search has added fast-growing environmental technologies to its sectors of expertise.

The Brussels, Belgium-based search firm specialises in finding and attracting talent in process and converting industries, life sciences and food processing. 

Environmental technologies is estimated to be a €3.3bn (£2.9bn) global market encompassing environmental services, renewable energy, low carbon solutions and alternative materials.

Els De Cremer, co-director, Borderless Executive Search, says: “We’re being approached by companies that need leaders able to confront challenges such as 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.

“These challenges mirror those faced by the other three sectors in which we’ve been operating for nearly a decade.”
