As ESG Financial Controller, you’ll be responsible for the Environmental, Social & Governance reporting which captures multiple growth drivers for the company. The Environmental, social and governance (ESG) area reflects business strategy and data collection, which is broader than sustainability. As ESG topics become more integrated into the core of our business practices, the reporting function has become a reflection of that and will develop further in future.
