• Support internal and external sustainability reporting by preparing accurate, consistent, and audit-ready inputs. Identify gaps in ESG data collection and establish robust new data processes to maintain a sufficient audit trail for internal and external assurance.

Commercial Alignment and Stakeholder Management

• Develop a consistent strategy for responding to RFPs, customer questionnaires, and inquiries to effectively and accurately communicate the company’s ESG performance and ESG value proposition.
• Serve as the ESG SME during contract negotiations, partnering with Commercial Legal to draft sustainability addendums that protect business interests and advance ESG goals.
• Review and approve all submissions to ESG rating agencies (e.g., ISS, CDP, EcoVadis) and monitor peer trends to adjust program design and meet stakeholder needs.
