  • Support the implementation of appropriate ESG software, allowing for external reporting and support for customers.
  • Research and identification of sustainable technology appropriate for Airedale’s current and future product portfolio.
  • Work directly with the product development teams to continuously improve product design to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions.
  • Working with the procurement team, identify opportunities for carbon reduction in the supply chain.
  • Work with the Operations and Environmental Management teams to report on plant level carbon emissions with the aim to reduce.
  • Maintaining strong knowledge of UK, EMEA, NA and APAC sustainability and climate change policies at both a regional and industry level, ensuring frameworks and processes are created and adhered to.
