Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the ESG Analyst position at your organization. With a strong academic background in environmental economics and hands-on experience in ESG research, sustainability reporting, and regulatory analysis, I am motivated to contribute my skills toward advancing responsible investment and long-term value creation. My professional journey reflects a consistent focus on integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into data-driven decision-making.

In my current role as an ESG Analyst at GreenSphere Capital Advisors, I have been responsible for conducting in-depth ESG assessments for publicly listed companies across multiple sectors. This includes analyzing environmental indicators such as emissions and climate risk exposure, reviewing social metrics related to workforce practices and diversity, and evaluating governance frameworks including board structure and executive compensation. Through this work, I have supported investment teams by translating ESG data into clear insights that inform portfolio strategy.

Previously, while working as a Sustainability Analyst at EcoMetrics Consulting Group, I collaborated with corporate clients to improve sustainability performance and reporting quality. I supported the preparation of ESG and sustainability reports aligned with GRI, SASB, and TCFD standards, conducted materiality assessments, and reviewed supply chain practices for social and environmental compliance. This role strengthened my ability to work across industries and adapt ESG frameworks to different business contexts.

Earlier in my career, as a Junior ESG Research Associate at SustainValue Research Solutions, I developed a strong foundation in ESG data collection and analysis. I gathered and validated data from public disclosures, assisted with environmental and social impact assessments, and supported internal ESG scoring methodologies. This experience sharpened my research skills and attention to detail, which continue to support my work today.

In addition to my professional experience, I hold certifications including Certified ESG Analyst (CESGA), GRI Sustainability Professional, and SASB Fundamentals of Sustainability Accounting. These credentials, combined with my practical experience, enable me to interpret ESG standards accurately and apply them in real-world investment and reporting scenarios. I am comfortable working with complex datasets, regulatory requirements, and cross-functional stakeholders.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring my ESG expertise, analytical mindset, and commitment to sustainability to your team. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background aligns with your organization’s ESG goals and how I can contribute to driving measurable impact.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Olivia M. Carter
