The Firm

Providing transparency to the agriculture industry, to showcase the quality, sustainability, and integrity of Australia's highly valued produce, the company's technology provides producers with traceability and control over their products.

Each one of the data points collected, pieces together a story enabling a financial, sustainability, or brand-building outcome.


The Role

The Global Sustainability Manager will primarily work with the company's clients to house their sustainability data on the company's platform and provide clients with a broad range of risk and advisory services focused on today's most pressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) needs relating to supply chain management.

In addition, this role will conduct research to determine a base line and then monitor the clients' performance against its sustainability benchmarks.

This will be managed by ensuring clients are capturing metrics and pushing them to the company's platform, including carbon emissions and reductions, water security, biodiversity, energy efficiency, air and water pollution, and waste management.

This data provides traceability and provenance via blockchain technology.

You will create and manage governance and reporting systems in a strategic sustainability context, captured in a dashboard environment.
