- Creating awareness: contributing to internal communication and training on sustainability and quality.
- Stakeholder contact: collaborating with colleagues from different countries, suppliers, and partners on sustainability issues. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a real impact within our organization while working in a collegial and energetic team.
- Interface with QA: you are part of the QA team, you contribute to supplier management, certifications (BRC/IFS), and ensure that CSR & QA reinforce each other.
