About the job opportunity

In 2021, the European Union (EU) introduced the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), a significant legal development. This directive mandates that companies publicly disclose their environmental and social impact. Its overarching objective is to establish a framework that ensures the disclosed sustainability data is comparable, relevant, and reliable.

The CSRD brings about a transformative change by compelling companies to disclose their sustainability data. In preparation for this Directive, our internal firmwide Sustainability Team is looking for you to support us as a EU-CSRD Data Specialist.

Who and what are we looking for?

• Develop and implement strategies: Collaborate with our “Emission Zero”-Team and other cross-functional teams to design and execute data management strategies aligned with the EU-CSRD requirements. Ensure compliance with reporting standards and guidelines.

• Stakeholder engagement: Work closely with the Global Lead Sustainability to ensure engagement with internal and external stakeholders, including regulators, and industry bodies. Communicate data management practices, progress, and impact effectively.

• Technology integration: Leverage technology solutions to streamline data collection, reporting, and analysis. Stay informed about emerging tools and platforms for efficient ESG-data management.

• Risk assessment: Identify potential risks related to data quality, accuracy, or compliance. Develop mitigation strategies to address any gaps or challenges.

• Reporting and disclosure: Support the Marketing Team and Global Lead Sustainability to develop high-quality Sustainability reports in line with EU-CSRD guidelines. Ensure timely submission of reports to relevant authorities.
