At SportPursuit we believe that we have an important role to play in terms of our sustainability. As we continue to grow as the Sportscape Group our ESG becomes more involved in everything we do and we want to ensure that we act in a responsible and sustainable way. This ESG Lead (Sportscape Group) role will be instrumental in aiding us to achieve our ESG strategy and goals.
A bit more about this role
Reporting to SportPursuit MD and under close coordination with Group CEO this, predominantly self-serving and autonomous role will contribute to our ESG strategy definition, implementation and monitoring against performance KPIs. Relying on in-depth ESG culture and best practice knowledge you will manage internal and external communication in particular in consistency with CSRD requirements. Your role includes but is not limited to:
Reporting our ESG numbers as a Group, working with both stakeholders from SportPursuit and Private Sport Shop in order to collate and organise.
Identifying and assessing ESG risks and opportunities for the Sportscape business.
Coordinating the many teams across the Group and if needed directly lead projects involving these teams.
Managing ESG regulatory watch, in particular regarding CSRD.
Contributing to Group ESG strategy updates through interactions with management team, exec team and business stakeholders.
Managing the direct interactions with critical stakeholders such as our finance providers, external authorities and consultants including press and shareholders.
Implementing ESG group strategy in coordination with all internal and external stakeholders.
Monitoring ESG strategy implementation progress and ESG corporate performance.
Managing internal and external ESG reporting and communication.
Whilst this is a remote-first role, it is likely that there will be a regular requirement to travel between the London office where SportPursuit are based and Vendargues (France) where Private Sport Shop operate.
