It is important to include a Jury as the human factor in this analysis because sustainability is inherently a human-centric issue. CSOs are responsible for driving sustainability initiatives within their organisations and influencing the attitudes and behaviours of employees and stakeholders towards more sustainable practices. Understanding the personal characteristics, values, and leadership styles of CSOs can provide valuable insights into their ability to effectively lead sustainability efforts and create a culture of sustainability within their organisations.

Additionally, artificial intelligence may not be able to fully capture the complexities of human decision-making, emotions, and interpersonal relationships that are crucial to the role of a CSO. By incorporating the human factor into the analysis of CSO profiles, we can ensure that the winners of the CSO Awards are not just selected based on technical skills or achievements, but also on their ability to inspire and engage others in sustainability efforts.

Furthermore, recognizing and celebrating the human side of sustainability leadership can help to promote a more holistic understanding of what it means to be a successful CSO and inspire other sustainability professionals to emulate these qualities in their own work. Ultimately, integrating the human factor into the evaluation criteria for our CSO Awards can help to identify and promote CSOs who are not only effective sustainability leaders, but also empathetic, innovative, and capable of fostering positive change within their organisations and beyond.
