**About Food Made Good HK**

Our mission is to help foodservice businesses (and increasingly food retailers) to operate more sustainably, and our vision is that by doing so at scale, we can create a sustainable food system. Our core value is turning passion into action. Our Headquarters are in London.

Food Made Good HK is a certified BCorp, and HK’s go-to food sustainability consultancy. Our clients include HSBC, Pernod Ricard and Henderson Land Group. We also run a membership programme helping restaurants become more sustainable and diners make more sustainable choices when dining out. Our members include a broad range of foodservice providers and suppliers, including neighborhood favourites, high street chains, pubs, workplace canteens to Michelin-starred fine dining restaurants.

**About the team**

We are a small yet agile team of five in Hong Kong who have a diverse range of backgrounds, from food policy, nutrition, supply chain, sustainable development and economics, but most importantly we are all passionate about changing the food landscape in Hong Kong and the region. As a small start up, we have to take a flexible approach, and support each other to be a fast-acting high-performing team. We also work closely with the global Food Made Good team at the Sustainable Restaurant Association, especially the London HQ. Globally we have worked with over 12,000 business outlets over the last ten years.

**Job Purpose**

The role of the Sustainability Consultant is to lead the projects and to ensure their ongoing success. The Consultancy pillar is one of the core commercial income streams, and allows our organisation to support partners by delivering bespoke programmes to tackle identified sustainability issues, whilst contributing to our mission of normalising sustainability in the foodservice sector. Examples of our consultancy programmes include: CPD training, auditing, in person engagement, research, strategy workshops and benchmarking.

The Sustainability Strategist will take on responsibility for all elements of this area of work (with the support of the CEO).

This includes: scoping out new business opportunities, the writing of proposals, design of projects to meet partners’ needs, the execution and the evaluation. The postholder also needs to ensure that programmes are delivered on time and to budget, with clearly designed milestones and targets implemented for maxim positive impact.

More generally, the post-holder will understand the challenges facing the food system or be willing to learn quickly on the topic, and will be ambitious in articulation of the solutions. You are passionate about helping people understand the positive impact that we can have on the planet through the food we choose to put on our plates, and you are interested in sharing knowledge, ideas, resources and solutions.
