Principle Objective

Crown UK&I family of brands are working on delivering a progressive responsible business agenda delivering our services in line with our commitments to our climate and environment, our people and business and our partners and communities.

This role is critical in supporting the delivery of existing sustainable services and driving the development of new sustainability-focused innovations across the Crown businesses. Our aspiration is to maintain Crown Workspace's reputation as a sustainability leader in its field, while helping all Crown brands become recognised as progressive and responsible within their respective industries.

A key part of this role involves working on our charitable initiative The Giving Back Project, focused on the donation of client's assets and volunteering opportunities for staff. In addition, working on the climate and environment pillar by supporting net zero, circular economy, resource efficiency and waste management plans across all the UK&I brands, helping drive more environmentally responsible practices across the business.

The role will be constantly developing as we build on our aspiration and will vary from hands on management of reuse and charity partners, through to strategy development, supporting the commercial teams, speaking to clients, and reporting on sustainability achievements.

This is a dynamic role that evolves with our ambitions - ranging from hands-on management of reuse and charity partnerships to strategic development, client engagement and sustainability reporting.

The Sustainability Advisor will work closely with the Head of Sustainable Development and the Senior Sustainability Consultant to deliver the objectives of Crown Worldwide UK&I.
