CDP Project Manager

Acre is working with a market-leading global provider of industrial and electrical products. Acre has been engaged to identify a CDP project manager to join them on an exciting short-term assignment to work within their ESG team to coordinate the group's 2024 CDP submission.

​

Sourcing from leading suppliers, our client boasts a wide range of product and service solutions to over 1 million customers worldwide. Their current commitment to sustainability is engrained deep into the company-wide strategy and what they believe is key to driving greater long-term value for all of their stakeholders. They aspire to be a sustainable, responsible and inclusive business leader in the global industrial sector and beyond.

​

A key aspect of the role will be undertaking a benchmarking and gap analysis of the new CDP form and system, to understand where the group's existing reporting content can be applied and where new content needs to be created in partnership with key internal stakeholders. This will include both the company's climate submission and its value chain submission (supply chain and customer responses), for the group. The assignment will be for an initial 3 months beginning in July.

​

The ideal candidate will have strong written communication, stakeholder management, project management, and technical sustainability skills. You will ideally have completed CDP previously and have a clear understanding of what an 'A' grade submission looks like and the development steps for the group to achieve a leadership result.
