**About this role**:
Pennington Choices is an industry leader committed to balancing purpose and profit, considering the impact of our business decisions on our employees, community, and the environment.

They will also oversee the B Corp certification process, ensuring compliance with standards and requirements and working closely with relevant departments to implement necessary changes and improvements to meet B Corp criteria.

The purpose of the role is to bridge the gap between our commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture and employee well-being in order to attract and retain the very best talent (the "People" aspect), and our dedication to sustainable business practices and Corporate Social Responsibility (the "Sustainability" aspect). Combining these functions under one role allows for a more integrated and holistic approach to organisational sustainability. It will help to align people-related initiatives with broader ESG and CSR goals. This role is essential for several reasons:

- **Enhancing Workplace Culture**:This role will focus on creating a positive workplace culture that promotes employee well-being and engagement. A healthy and inclusive work environment is crucial for attracting and retaining talent and fostering a motivated workforce.
- **Promoting Sustainability**:The Head of People and Sustainability will drive sustainability initiatives within the company, including reducing our environmental footprint, implementing eco-friendly practices, and ensuring regulatory compliance. They will identify opportunities to promote sustainability in the supply chain and across operations.
- **Compliance and Reporting**:Responsibility for monitoring and reporting on environmental sustainability and social responsibility performance. This includes ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards, as well as evaluating the financial impact of sustainability efforts.
- **Enhancing the Employee Brand**: This role will actively contribute to building a positive employee brand by creating and managing programs that support employee development, well-being, and retention. Effective communication and internal and external messaging play a crucial role in promoting the company's employee brand.
- **External Relations**: The Head of People and Sustainability will develop and maintain relationships with external stakeholders, including investors, suppliers, and regulatory bodies, to demonstrate the organisation's commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
- **Measuring and Reporting Progress**:This role will involve monitoring and reporting on key performance metrics related to both employee well-being and sustainability. Measuring progress is essential for continuous improvement and accountability.

In summary, the Head of People and Sustainability is instrumental in aligning the company's commitment to social and environmental responsibility with its business objectives, employee well-being, and workplace culture. They will ensure that the organisation operates in a way that is socially, environmentally, and financially responsible, ultimately contributing to its long-term success and positive brand image.

**Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities**:
