Evaluate Carbon Footprint and Emissions Data:
  • Perform carbon accounting and emissions analysis to quantify the organization’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. You’ll identify areas for improvement and help develop reduction strategies in line with industry standards, such as GHG Protocol.
Collaborate on Sustainability Goals and Strategies:
  • Work with sustainability and environmental teams to define sustainability goals and track their progress. You’ll provide data-driven recommendations for achieving targets in energy efficiency, waste management, water conservation, and more.
Conduct Environmental Impact Assessments:
  • Evaluate the environmental impact of business practices, supply chain operations, and product lifecycle stages. You’ll assess and quantify the environmental benefits or costs associated with different operational scenarios.
Stay Updated on Sustainability Metrics and Standards:
  • Keep abreast of emerging sustainability frameworks, metrics, and industry standards, such as CDP, TCFD, and ESG reporting. You’ll ensure that sustainability metrics align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
Support Communication and Reporting for Stakeholders:
  • Assist in preparing sustainability reports for internal stakeholders, investors, and regulatory bodies. You’ll ensure transparency and accuracy in reporting, helping to build trust and accountability in the organization’s sustainability efforts.

Requirements
