• Develop and prepare relevant reporting to stakeholders on key CSRD and Sustainability strategy metrics and targets. Outline trends and actionable insights ensuring that the information disclosed is accurate and complete.
• Where required, support the selection of technology solutions and work with IT to understand data collection and reporting requirements ahead of system implementation.
• Support with updates to relevant policies and where required support in developing new policies.
• Support with acquisition due-diligence to ensure new acquisitions are aligned to data requirements.
• Adopt a continuous improvement monitoring and refinement process. Assess stakeholder feedback, emerging trends and regulatory compliance for continuous improvement.
