For over 80 years, we have set the precedent that a pet food company has a greater duty than feeding pets. Achieving our sustainability goals takes time, and we have big commitments for the future. From the sourcing of our ingredients to the manufacturing and delivery of our high-quality products, we are dedicated to finding renewable and regenerative sources in every step of our process. We're committed to pets, people, and the planet we all share. This is sustainability at Nestlé Purina.

You will interact significantly with Strategic Business Units, Group, Zone, and market sustainability resources that contribute to, and help drive, the climate strategy. This role will work closely with Nestle Zone North America food, beverage and pet care climate leaders to drive results across Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions reductions, and will report through Nestle Purina PetCare Company.

• Stay up to date on current and emerging policy and regulatory drivers of GHG emissions disclosure, environmental reporting requirements, and management in North America

• Manage Nestlé’s global sustainability data strategy and ensure alignment across all related systems to support measurement of KPI's while ensuring quality and accuracy of all data

• Manage the collection and organization of GHG data from internal and external partners while providing ongoing support to address questions and/or resolve discrepancies

• Develop, align, share-out, and implement processes and procedures related to GHG accounting, record-keeping, and related governance

• Serve as the go-to person for GHG global and internal accounting rules within the Zone
