Frequent communication with customers, trade bodies, NGOs and industry experts will also be required therefore the ability to form strong relationships, speak with authority and confidence while being ready to listen and learn is essential. The job holder will be required to represent the company publicly on sustainability matters and will support external communications and media management with the CR Director and retained Public Relations agencies.

As our sustainability expert, shape our path to becoming a Net Zero business and achievement of Science Based Targets on a 1.5-degree pathway and embed this with the CR team into relevant business wide teams. With key department leads, review and reset our sustainability and wider ESG strategy including reviewing progress against current and identifying new short- and long-term goals. Ensure through your networks and knowledge that we have appropriate aspirations for our brands, customers and consumers, and we are responding appropriately to emerging trends, legislation, new risks and opportunities. Review and improve our processes in relation to sustainability related reporting and engagement with customers, NGOs and all relevant legislative requirements. With the CR Director and CR team, maintain and further develop our strong relationships with a range of customers, suppliers, trade bodies', NGOs and other relevant stakeholders.
