Sustainability Expert at Fagerhult Group AB
Fagerhult Group has an ambitious sustainability agenda and we want to strengthen our Group Sustainability Team with a Sustainability Expert. Therefore, we are now recruiting a highly committed and ambitious sustainability professional which will be a central part of the Group’s crucial competence area of sustainability. Our sustainability agenda is integrated in our business model and our products and solutions can have a substantial positive impact on sustainable development. The agenda is well in line with European legislation and also contributing to the future of a more energy efficient society and smart buildings.
The role as Sustainability Expert will have a specific focus on advancing our sustainability agenda through the whole Group. With 12 different and quite independent brands we need to find ways to drive the carbon reduction work as a first priority, but other sustainability focused projects will follow as we develop and execute our sustainability agenda.
Personal commitment to sustainability is essential for success and the role will involve ensuring strategic, focused, and long-term work on sustainability issues with expertise, enthusiasm, energy, and drive. The role is based in Stockholm as part of the Group Sustainability Team. Some travel to our brand companies will be required.
Your main areas of responsibility as Sustainability Expert
The essence of the role is to work alongside the Head of Sustainability and the Sustainability Controller, as well as other forums and organizations to drive sustainability issues across the Group’s companies.
In line with our sustainability agenda we’ve set ambitious carbon reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. Today, reducing our carbon footprint is the main focus in our sustainability agenda. We have also set a roadmap with concrete activities (levers) that needs to be implemented to reach our targets. The main focus of this role will be developing our carbon accounting to be able to follow our progress and publicly disclose our emissions according to relevant frameworks as well as ensuring the action needed on all levers to reach our science based targets. More sustainability related projects to advance our Sustainability agenda will follow, and the Sustainability Expert will be highly involved in creating a successful delivery. Examples of other areas that we will be more in focus going forward are circularity and sustainability due diligence.
Being part of a small team, it will be important to be flexible and also being able to work both on strategic and on operational levels. One example of work where this role will also be involved is connected to the sustainability reporting, including the EU Taxonomy. We are preparing for the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and working to secure and improve our data collection and disclosure of all sustainability data, but also preparing for other coming rules and regulations where the whole team needs to contribute.
An important component to succeed in all our efforts to lead in sustainability is engagement from all of our employees. In this role you will be part of developing how to inform and educate employees in various functions throughout the Group continuously on sustainability-related matters. The role has a strong international focus and involves many different contact points, both internally and externally. For example Head of Sustainability, the Sustainability Controller, the Group Finance Team, Business Area Heads and a Sustainability Core Team with members from several operating companies. You will be reporting to the Head of Sustainability.
