Is a Government Chief Sustainability Officer (GCSO) Needed?

Major businesses have chief sustainability officer (CSO) to coordinate #esg activities and align organization with varying #sustainability needs of internal departments and external parties.

Government is the largest employer in most economies and a GCSO is a must to manage its huge procurement of goods and services, including all kinds of public utilities and daily maintenance.

Responsible enterprises are required to issue #esg report yearly, why are government machineries exempted from the same rule of #governance when they are equally large emitters?
