• Build collaborative relationships with strategic suppliers to drive shared sustainability improvement, providing guidance, resources, and clear expectations to help them meet Gifthealth's sustainability standards.
• Monitor and report on supplier sustainability performance, flagging risks related to environmental compliance, ethical sourcing, or regulatory changes that could affect Gifthealth's supply base or program standing.

Reporting and Stakeholder Communication

• Produce clear, accurate sustainability reporting for internal leadership, including program status, KPI performance, emissions progress, and supplier engagement outcomes on a regular cadence.
• Support the development of any external sustainability disclosures, including client-facing sustainability summaries, RFP responses, and public-facing communications that reflect Gifthealth's program commitments and progress.
