- **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.
