Sustainability Reporting Lead - 18 mth maternity cover

Nando's is on a journey to Create Lasting Happiness, making a difference to the lives of our people, our customers, and the communities we work in. Originally started in Johannesburg, South Africa, we pride ourselves on creating memorable experiences for everyone involved in Nando's: from our employees, communities, founders, and suppliers, but most importantly, our customers. This role will join an established Sustainability Team and is crucial in driving sustainability in the business. Rather than just report on progress, the role has an opportunity to drive progress on carbon reduction, actively manage our offsetting partnerships in Southern Africa, and be instrumental in delivering on our reporting, liaising with stakeholders across the business as well as external consultancies to provide analysis, celebrate success and advise on how to meet our overall reduction targets.
