With the EU Green Deal, the European Commission has developed a comprehensive strategy that aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050 through reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, and modernizing the economy and society in a sustainable way. Second, a legal framework, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, was published at the end of 2022 that requires certain large companies and groups to disclose information about their environmental, social, and governance performance in their annual financial reports. Both initiatives aim to promote sustainability, the Green Deal focuses on policy and sectoral changes, while the CSRD focuses on transparency and reporting of sustainability information by companies. In this role I drive the company’s sustainability agenda and prepare for the mandatory reporting requirement. I will ensure that the company's operations and strategies become more sustainable (environmental and social) and have a positive impact on the environment and society. I'm responsible for developing and implementing environmental and social sustainability ambitions and goals, and for ensuring that the company is meeting those goals. I work with the different functional areas to identify and mitigate potential risks related to sustainability. Together with enterprise functions, I will prepare our company to adhere to the new non-financial reporting requirements in the coming years.
