  • Establish ESG metrics, data collection processes, and reporting structures
  • Lead ESG disclosures, including customer questionnaires, scorecards, and sustainability reporting requests
  • Partner with commercial and customer teams to support ESG-related requirements and opportunities
  • Identify and drive initiatives to improve environmental performance (e.g., waste reduction, energy efficiency, emissions awareness)
  • Coordinate ESG data across functions (Operations, Finance, HR, Supply Chain)
  • Monitor evolving ESG regulations and customer expectations and translate into actionable plans
  • Support development of internal ESG policies and governance structures
  • Serve as the internal subject matter expert for ESG inquiries

Program Build & Leadership

  • Build both EHS and ESG programs from current state to structured, scalable functions
  • Prioritize initiatives based on risk, regulatory exposure, and business impact
  • Balance strategic program development with hands-on execution
