S'more About The Team

Reporting to the Senior Director, Procurement and in partnership with a broader North America Sustainability team, the Sustainability Manager will lead data-driven food and packaging waste reduction & lean production initiatives throughout the Canadian operation.

The successful candidate will be accountable for our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting pillar for Canada. This involves the collection of inputs from across the business that contribute to the Annual Non-Financial Report for the HelloFresh Group, as well as regular updates to C-Level and an ESG Committee of the HelloFresh Group Board.

You will ensure compliance with the external reporting requirements and prepare company processes and capabilities to meet the needs of the upcoming CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive of the European Union applicable as of 2024) reporting regulation, and other emerging reporting requirements.

You will actively drive and shape the development of a more sustainable supply chain by supporting the design, quantification, and implementation of various projects impacting our community. This might include building sustainable waste management solutions (i.e. composting, recycling, anaerobic digestion), kit and case packaging modifications, partnership with local charities to utilize excess meals; or, changes to ingredient packaging.
