About the Role
As an Environmental & Supply Chain Responsibility Manager, you will lead initiatives that reduce environmental impact, improve supply chain resilience, and ensure compliance with international standards. You’ll set strategy, develop tools and processes, and collaborate with suppliers, cross-functional teams, and external partners to advance responsible sourcing and environmental management across our supply base.

Partner with suppliers to drive improvements in areas such as energy use, emissions reduction, waste management, and water stewardship.
Manage reporting and disclosure requirements related to environmental impact, sustainability performance, and regulatory compliance.
Build and maintain partnerships with industry groups, NGOs, and government stakeholders to align on best practices and advance collective impact.
Support cross-functional teams in developing standards, training, and tools that enable responsible decision-making across the business.

Bring deep knowledge of environmental management, supply chain sustainability, or corporate responsibility.
Have experience designing and implementing due diligence or risk management frameworks across global supply chains.
