4. Leading and coordinating sustainability activities across Indirect and IT, acting as our SME with a working knowledge of regulatory and legislative requirements, ensuring compliance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and similar legislation, in parallel enabling the achievement of our Scope 3 carbon reduction targets
