Sustainability & ESG Manager
Experienced professional to first-line manager
Owns the sustainability agenda for a market, business unit or reporting scope: the roadmap against group targets (net zero, packaging circularity, water, nature, responsible sourcing), the ESG data and KPIs and their internal controls, mandatory and voluntary sustainability reporting (CSRD/ESRS, GRI, SASB, TCFD) and its external assurance, the regulatory watch (packaging, deforestation, climate disclosure), and the cross-functional projects with supply chain, procurement, R&D, finance and marketing that deliver the targets. Success is judged on progress against the published targets, reporting that passes assurance and regulators without restatement, reliable data leaders trust, and sustainability embedded in business decisions rather than run alongside them.
