Main Tasks:* Shaping the design of Swiss Re's CO2NetZero Programme. This included a global market analysis of the nascent carbon removal industry, a compilation of negative emission technologies and provision on background information on science, politics and economics of carbon removal.* Modelling a carbon removal purchasing strategy which covered the design of an internal carbon price, negotiations with carbon removal companies and identification of business opportunities.* Supporting Swiss Re's Internal Environmental Management during annual environmental reporting cycle. This included close management of Swiss Re's offices, control and analysis of environmental data and writing of reports to upper management.* Successful completion of ISO14001:2015 Auditor Certification Scheme training and creation of a management tool to closely monitor Swiss Re's environmental aspects and impacts on a global, regional and local scale.Additional tasks / special tasks / projects:* Producing internal and public-facing content on various topics such as Swiss Re's GHG strategy, Q&A for investor relations, special report on technical gas consumption, article on risk analysis of carbon removal and on the concepts of low-carbon and circular carbon economies.* Co-production of explainer video on net-zero fundamentals.* Screening and categorization of corporate climate commitments.* Research on how digitisation can help businesses and the public to act more sustainably.* Research on the calculation of emissions from various means of traveling and energy consumption.
