- Identify knowledge gaps in the business, and provide training and capacity building where needed.
- Responding to requests for sustainability information and requirements from clients and brand partners, including for business tenders.
- Monitoring market, industry and sustainability trends (including emerging regulation) and advise the business on future risks and opportunities and evolving best practice.
- Building strong working relationships with the country, regional and Group-level teams to ensure effective coordination and delivery of the strategy, and sharing best practice and knowledge.
