Sustainability and Reporting Coordinator
Sustainability and Reporting Coordinator (maternity cover)
About us
Here at Suma we've been doing things a bit differently for over 40 years. Not only in our mission to supply everything vegetarian, ethical and sustainable, but also in how we are run.
Suma is a worker co-operative; a business owned and run by the nearly 200 members who work here. We're a group of ordinary people who have built a business on principles of integrity and equality. Suma's employees work together to collectively set the direction of the business - there's no shareholders and no traditional 'bosses'. Everyone at Suma gets paid the same wage, takes personal responsibility and does a range of jobs each week.
About the job
As a co-op we are more than the sum of our parts, and we are seeking a Sustainability and Reporting Coordinator to be based at our main offices in Elland, West Yorkshire (home-working an option). This is a Fixed Term Contract role, as maternity cover for up to 18 months.
Beyond our financial sustainability, Suma has a Purpose, Values and Vision that extends beyond profit and encompasses sustainability across social, environmental, economic and ethical issues. We want to ensure that Suma's approach to internal sustainability aligns with our external positions and influencing objectives, and that it is well evidenced, transparent and consistent within and across the organisation and with key external networks and stakeholders.
Using their influence and inter-departmental networking skills, the Sustainability and Reporting Coordinator (cover) will lead the development, communication and implementation of an ambitious Sustainability Strategy across Suma. In order to secure engagement and embed a culture of sustainability across the co-op, they will need to work closely and collaboratively at all levels within Suma.
We are looking for someone with highly developed influencing and communications skills, with the ability to operate, connect, build relationships and inspire at all levels internally and externally and enhance the credibility and influence of the organisation.
