London England United Kingdom De Beers Group Full time

De Beers Group is a company with a rich history and a sparkling future. Since 1888 our experts have searched the world for nature’s most precious gem. We believe natural diamonds represent more than beautiful gemstones; they can forge a brighter future. They can fuel nations, empower communities, support education and livelihoods and help protect and restore nature’s biodiversity and beauty for generations to come.

We also recognise diamonds are symbols of deep personal meaning for millions of people around the world, and today’s consumers want to know – and increasingly expect – that the diamonds they give, receive and wear have been responsibly sourced and are helping to create a brighter future. But today, the story that diamonds do good is not well understood. That’s why it’s more important than ever that we focus our Building Forever efforts on the most impactful programmes – and then use powerful storytelling to differentiate ourselves.

From our mining operations in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Canada, through to the stores where we sell our diamonds, Building Forever–along with our Purpose and Values–guides our work, our decisions and our behaviours.

Job Description

De Beers are looking to recruit an interim consultant to lead ESG. Our sustainability strategy, Building Forever, underpins our efforts to create meaningful impact for people and places where our diamonds are discovered. It unites our business around three key areas where we have a unique ability to drive impact: Climate - Innovative thinking and pioneering partnerships, Livelihoods - Supporting a brighter future through diamonds, and Nature - Restoring and protecting biodiversity. Each of these core pillars are underpinned by provenance; being able to link our diamonds back to their origin and impact.

This is a 6-9 month fixed term contract (with potential to extend), with flexible/remote working on offer. This role is due to start ASAP, ideally in February 2025. The role involves several key deliverables including:

  • Accountability for the execution of De Beers Group global sustainability strategy aligning it with the company’s broader business goals, leveraging your own experience and existing team to deliver.
  • Help shape and enhance visibility and clarity of sustainability performance metrics, ensuring regular reporting to the executive and board levels.
  • Collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders, including other luxury brands, NGOs, and investors, to champion sustainability initiatives.
Qualifications

You will have:

  • A background as an experienced and senior ESG/Sustainability professional and running a Sustainability or ESG department in a large, matrix organization – mining, luxury, retail / FMCG, or energy is favourable but not essential.
  • A proven track record of developing effective sustainability and ESG strategies and an understanding of UK and EU sustainability legislation and frameworks. Skilled at translating technical sustainability efforts into compelling stories.
  • Gravitas and the ability to create an immediate impact - able to influence and navigate complex, matrixed environments; Strong public speaking and representation skills.
Additional Information

Safety

Safety first is a way of life for us. We are unconditional about the safety, health and well-being of our colleagues, at work and at home, and about that of the communities where we work. We aim to lead the industry by investing in innovation to protect people, who are at the heart of our business. Our high performing teams take accountability for their own and others' actions, work collaboratively, and always show care and respect.

Inclusion & Diversity

We are committed to promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace where we value and respect every colleague for who they are. We provide equality of opportunity to enable everyone to fulfil their potential.

Successful candidates will be required to complete background screening which may include a criminal check and validation of qualifications.
