• A Natural Collaborator: You enjoy working with people at all levels, building meaningful relationships to drive meaningful change.
• A Trusted Expert: You bring solid knowledge of environmental standards like ISO 14001 and PAS 2080, and you're confident navigating legislation and compliance.
• A Clear Communicator: You know how to make complex sustainability topics easy to understand and can inspire others to take action.
• A Forward-Thinking Problem Solver: You’re always looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to do things - and you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo.
