THE ROLE

The role of Climate Change & Environment Manager is very important to us. We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking climate change and environmental expert who will be responsible for environmental, carbon and climate change matters across the Group.
The initial focus of the role will be on compliance matters, including carbon management, development of a climate transition strategy, climate financial disclosures (e.g. UKCFD), regulatory adherence to SECR /ESOS, and ownership of our ISO 14001 system, and general environmental compliance.
The role will then broaden overtime to work more closely with the lifecycle of our products and services, developing and supporting projects linked to procurement, packaging, circular economy, waste, water and energy.
This role sits within our Legal function and reports directly to the Head of Sustainability & ESG.
