Hilton Food Group (HFG) works with some of the world's leading retailers and food businesses to produce a broad range of animal and plant-based protein products, in a world of ever-changing consumer preferences. In positioning itself as the leading international food-packing business, the key to HFG's success has been based on partnership and responsibility: HFG operates across 13 markets, working with a small number of industry-leading customers on an exclusive basis, producing innovative, high-quality products which are created in a responsible and sustainable manner.
To continue Hilton's push for sustainability, the company created a group corporate Responsibility function. The team has identified eight pillars, covering all sustainability topics, and have had significant achievements across a range of areas, including audit, transparency and animal welfare. You will be joining the business to lead the company's Ethical Supply Chain pillar, building the company's Ethical code of conduct and risk assessment processes, assessing suppliers and working to ensure the company continues to be at the forefront of sustainability.

Strong knowledge of sustainability topics, ideally within the food industry
Strong engagement skills, with the ability to drive the conversation around ethics with a variety of internal and external stakeholders
Strong conceptual thinker, with the ability to develop and adapt processes on a global level
The drive to continue to develop and learn new areas of sustainability beyond ethics
