This role sits at the centre of Sir Fruit’s sustainability journey — translating ambition into action and ensuring we can clearly track and communicate the impact we’re making.
The Sustainability Lead will drive the execution of sustainability initiatives across the business, while leading the development of robust, transparent ESG reporting. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable working on the factory floor, with suppliers, and with leadership — connecting data, operations and strategy.
You will play a key role in embedding sustainability into how we operate day-to-day, while ensuring our efforts are measurable, credible and aligned with industry standards and regulatory expectations. This is an opportunity to shape and scale sustainability in a business that is already on the journey.
