A B-Corp accredited FMCG manufacturing business is now seeking a visionary ESG Officer to step into a brand-new, highly impactful role. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape an ESG reporting function, 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. This is a hybrid role - 50% of working month is office based, 50% WFH. Flexible start and finishing times also available.
Key Responsibilities of the ESG 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 is integrated across the organisation.
