We are partnering with a B-Corp accredited FMCG manufacturing business that operates a truly global supply chain and serves an international customer base. Driven by ethical practices and sustainability, they are a purpose-led organisation experiencing brilliant growth. As they expand and pass new compliance thresholds, they are heavily investing in their internal governance. They are now seeking a visionary ESG Lead / Officer to step into a brand-new, highly impactful role. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape an ESG reporting function completely from scratch, moving the business from reactive data collection to a proactive, world-class framework, and becoming the company ‘go to person’ on all ESG related matters. While the initial priority lies heavily on the People, CSR, and Supply Chain reporting, you will work hand-in-hand with the wider environmental sustainability teams to ensure the business is fully ahead of the curve.
Key Responsibilities of the ESG Lead/ Officer:
- Build the Framework: Design process maps, governance structures, database systems, and controls for all non-financial and ESG reporting from the ground up.
- Own ESG Reporting: Develop, manage, and deliver robust reports aligned to UK and international regulations (including Section 172, Anti-bribery, Gender Pay Gap, Modern Slavery, etc.).
- Horizon Scanning: Actively research and monitor upcoming legislation (e.g., CSDDD, CSRD, EUDR, PPWR) to interpret how changing regulations will impact the global business.
- Internal Stakeholder Engagement: Drive "internal selling" and education. You will use your gravitas to influence department heads, ensuring ESG reporting stays firmly on their agendas and deadlines are met.
