Environmental Sustainability Lead

Morson are working with one of the UK's leading defence manufacturer who are looking for an Environmental Sustainability Lead Based at the Stevenage site.

The role offers hybrid working. 

Below are more details regarding the position. 

• You’ll be responsible for shaping business-focused activities around scope 3 greenhouse emissions (particularly in relation to our current emission ‘hotspots’ of waste, business travel, employee commuting and home-working, transportation and distribution), enhancing biodiversity on our sites, and making other workplace-based environmental improvements.
• You’ll lead, influence and work with ESG team members, and colleagues in teams across the wider business (such as Facilities Management, Safety Health and Environment, Sustainable Procurement, Travel, Site Management, Engineering) to deliver them. You’ll understand how to turn activity into outputs and positive outcomes. You’ll be experienced in driving change and delivering improvements that support both sustainability and wider business performance.
• Furthermore, you will be responsible for the preparation of corporate reporting required to comply with UK legislation and regulation, and customer requirements. Currently, this is primarily the company’s Climate-related Financial Disclosure and Carbon Reduction Plan.
• There’s an international dimension to this role, too.
• You’ll work with peers in our Group and sister companies in France, Italy and Germany, as we respond to EU requirements to address sustainability risk, performance and reporting. This will likely require an extension to current scope 3 activities.

• Behaviours that align with our values of team spirit, commitment, integrity, passion and innovation.
