Is it still worth pursuing a career in sustainability in 2026? Which path should I choose?

Hello guys! I am from south america holding a Bachelor of Laws, and I am currently looking to transition into the ESG/Sustainability field. I am planning to move to Germany to specialize in the compliance aspects of European sustainability and environmental regulations, such as the CSRD, CSDDD, and EUDR, while gaining experience in consulting before eventually returning to my country.

However, I am still deciding which Master's program would be the best fit for my career goals. I have looked into some of the Big Four firms (KPMG, PwC, and EY), and I noticed that many professionals working in ESG and Sustainability roles come from a business administration background.

Do you think it would be more advantageous for me to pursue a Master's in Business Administration, considering my goal of working with ESG consulting and sustainability compliance? or a LLM in European Business Law or a Masters in Environmental Science ? I was considering the Master’s in Business Administration with a specialization in Supply Chain Management at the University of Cologne, but I am also looking into programs such as Environmental Governance or Sustainable Resource Management.

With the recent EU-Mercosur agreement, I expect an increasing flow of goods entering the European market, which will likely create a growing demand for regulatory compliance, especially regarding sustainability and ESG requirements.

Which path do you think would provide a stronger profile for the ESG/Sustainability market, especially in Europe?
