1What this role really is

This isn't just a job; it's about shaping the very fabric of our organisation's ethical and operational integrity. You'll be the executive voice for health, safety, and sustainability, directly accountable to the CEO and Board. Your decisions will influence our brand, our investor relations, and frankly, the well-being of thousands of people globally. It's a role that demands a strategic mind, a strong moral compass, and the ability to navigate complex global challenges.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

EHS Management Platform (e.g., Intelex, Cority, Enablon)Strategic

Leading platform selection, managing enterprise-wide implementation and integration with core business systems (e.g., HRIS, ERP), defining global data governance standards, and reviewing executive-level dashboards.

Data Visualization & Analytics (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)Expert

Overseeing the entire safety and sustainability analytics strategy, ensuring dashboards align with executive KPIs, integrating EHS data with operational and financial data for holistic business insights, and presenting data-driven narratives to the Board.

GRC / Enterprise Risk Platform (e.g., ServiceNow GRC, Archer)Advanced

Managing the EHS and sustainability risk register within the corporate GRC platform, aligning EHS KPIs with enterprise risk appetite, and using the platform for board-level risk reporting.

Regulatory & Standards Databases (e.g., LexisNexis Regulatory Compliance)Strategic

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Global Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR)

The number of lost time injuries per 100,000 hours worked across the entire global enterprise.

Target · 20% reduction over a 3-year period, aiming for top quartile industry performance.

Reducing global LTIFR from 0.8 to 0.64 over three years, putting us ahead of 75% of our industry peers.

ESG Rating Improvement

Our performance as assessed by leading Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating agencies (e.g., MSCI, Sustainalytics).

Target · Achieve 'Leader' status (e.g., AA or AAA) in at least two major ESG ratings within 2 years.

Moving from an 'A' rating with MSCI to an 'AA' rating, demonstrating significant progress in our sustainability practices and disclosures.

Cost Avoidance from Proactive Risk Reduction

Quantifiable savings from preventing major incidents, regulatory fines, and associated business disruption.

Target · Identify and realise £5M+ in cost avoidance annually through strategic EHS programmes.

Implementing a new process safety programme that prevents a major chemical spill, avoiding £3M in clean-up costs and regulatory penalties.

Global ISO 45001 Certification Coverage

The percentage of our global operational sites that have achieved and maintained ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certification.

Target · 100% of all major operational sites certified within 5 years.

Bringing our last 15 uncertified sites up to ISO 45001 standard, ensuring a consistent, high level of safety management across the enterprise.

Board and Executive Trust & Strategic Influence

The extent to which the Board and Executive Leadership Team proactively seek your counsel on strategic decisions with EHS or sustainability implications.

Regular invitations to strategic planning sessions (beyond EHS-specific meetings). Your input is explicitly referenced in board minutes and investor calls. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just a compliance gatekeeper. You're asked to present on broader business risks, not just safety statistics.

Investor Confidence & Engagement

Positive feedback and proactive engagement from institutional investors regarding our EHS and sustainability performance and disclosures.

Investors specifically mention our strong ESG performance as a reason for investment or continued holding. You're invited to participate in investor roadshows or ESG-specific briefings. Fewer challenging questions from activist investors regarding our environmental or social impact.

Global Regulatory & Industry Reputation

Our standing as a responsible and compliant organisation within the global regulatory landscape and industry associations.

We're consulted by regulatory bodies on proposed changes. We receive industry awards for EHS or sustainability innovation. Our peers look to us for best practices. We avoid major regulatory enforcement actions or public scrutiny.

Organisational Safety Culture Maturity

The depth and breadth of a proactive, learning-oriented safety culture across all levels of the organisation, measured beyond just incident rates.

Significant improvement in safety culture perception surveys (e.g., +10 points). High rates of discretionary near-miss reporting and 'good catches'. Frontline employees feel empowered to stop unsafe work without fear. Safety is a regular agenda item in operational meetings, not just an EHS meeting.

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Driving Enterprise-Wide Impact & Legacy

You'll spend your days crafting policies that protect thousands, influencing multi-million-pound investment decisions for sustainable infrastructure, and seeing your vision for a safer, greener company come to life. This isn't about small wins; it's about shaping the entire organisation's future. You're building a legacy that extends beyond your tenure.

Successfully championing a global carbon reduction target that fundamentally changes how we source energy and design products, leading to a significant drop in our environmental footprint and a positive impact on our brand for decades.

Navigating Complex Global Challenges

You thrive on solving problems that have no easy answers—balancing conflicting regulatory demands across continents, addressing investor concerns about supply chain ethics, or responding to unexpected global health crises. The more complex the puzzle, the more engaged you are. You're essentially a high-stakes global strategist.

Developing a unified global EHS strategy that accounts for vastly different labour laws and environmental regulations in 50+ countries, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency without compromising standards.

Protecting People and the Planet

At your core, you're driven by a deep sense of responsibility for the well-being of our employees, contractors, and the communities we operate in, as well as the broader environmental impact of our business. Every strategic decision you make is filtered through this lens. You genuinely believe in the mission.

Leading the implementation of a 'zero harm' philosophy that significantly reduces workplace injuries and fatalities globally, knowing that your work directly saves lives and prevents suffering.

What frustrates people

Executive leadership prioritising quarterly earnings over long-term EHS/ESG investments.
The constant need to justify safety and sustainability spend with clear ROI, even when the 'return' is preventing a catastrophe.
Dealing with 'greenwashing' or 'safety washing' from other departments who want to look good without doing the actual work.
The emotional toll of managing a major incident and its aftermath, especially when systemic issues were known but unaddressed.
Navigating conflicting global regulatory requirements and trying to establish a consistent global standard.
The slow pace of cultural change in a large, established organisation, despite your best efforts.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable work environment with minimal external scrutiny.
The luxury of focusing solely on technical EHS matters without significant business or financial considerations.
A role where you can avoid difficult conversations or challenging senior leaders.
A quick path to seeing every one of your strategic initiatives fully implemented without significant hurdles.

6Who you work with

This role directly shapes the company's long-term viability, reputation, and competitive advantage. Your decisions impact everything from our operational licence to operate, to our ability to attract and retain talent, and our standing with investors. You'll be instrumental in embedding a culture where safety and sustainability are seen as strategic enablers, not just compliance burdens. Frankly, the success or failure of our enterprise-level ESG commitments rests squarely on your shoulders.

Proven ability to integrate EHS and sustainability into core business strategy, demonstrating clear business value and ROI.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Supply Chain ESG Due Diligence

Increased scrutiny from regulators and consumers means we need to go beyond basic supplier audits. This involves leveraging advanced analytics, blockchain for traceability, and deeper social and environmental impact assessments throughout our entire value chain, not just Tier 1 suppliers.

Scope 3 Emissions Measurement · Blockchain for Traceability · Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIA) · Circular Economy in Supply Chain

This quarter: Review our current supply chain due diligence processes and identify key gaps in ESG coverage.
Next 6 months: Pilot a new technology (e.g., a blockchain solution) for enhanced traceability in a critical part of our supply chain.
Next 12 months: Develop a strategy to extend ESG due diligence beyond Tier 1 suppliers.
Ongoing: Engage with procurement and operations leadership to embed these practices.

Quick win: Identify one high-risk product or material in our supply chain and initiate a deeper dive into its full ESG footprint. Ask for a report on our Scope 3 emissions.

Biodiversity & Natural Capital Assessment

Beyond carbon, the loss of biodiversity and degradation of natural capital (e.g., water, land) is a growing concern for investors and regulators. You'll need to understand how our operations impact natural ecosystems and how to integrate nature-positive strategies.

Science-Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) · Natural Capital Accounting · Ecosystem Services · Biodiversity Offsets & Net Positive Impact

This quarter: Read up on the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) framework.
Next 6 months: Engage an external expert to conduct a preliminary natural capital assessment for one of our key operational sites.
Next 12 months: Develop a strategy for integrating biodiversity considerations into our site development and operational planning.
Ongoing: Look for opportunities to partner with conservation organisations.

Quick win: Ensure 'biodiversity impact' is a question asked during the planning phase of any new facility or major operational change. Start tracking our water usage more rigorously.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly engage with industry thought leaders and participate in executive-level forums on emerging EHS and sustainability trends.
Maintain active memberships in relevant professional bodies (e.g., IOSH, IEMA, ISSP) and contribute to industry best practice development.
Undertake continuous learning in areas such as climate science, AI ethics, and advanced data analytics relevant to EHS and ESG.
Mentor future EHS and sustainability leaders within the organisation, fostering a strong talent pipeline.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI Ethics & Governance in EHS

As AI becomes more embedded in safety systems (e.g., predictive analytics, automated inspections), understanding the ethical implications of data privacy, bias in algorithms, and accountability for AI-driven decisions will be paramount. We need to ensure AI enhances safety without creating new risks or ethical dilemmas.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Climate Risk Integration into Financial Planning

Climate change isn't just an environmental issue; it's a financial risk. Investors and regulators increasingly demand that companies assess and disclose climate-related financial risks (e.g., physical risks to assets, transition risks from policy changes). You'll need to integrate these into our long-term financial planning and capital allocation.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how VP, EHS & Sustainability is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

At the C-suite level, your time is incredibly valuable. You're not just managing tasks; you're managing enterprise risk, reputation, and strategy. AI isn't here to replace your strategic judgment, but it can certainly cut through the noise, summarise vast amounts of information, and help you make faster, more informed decisions. Think of it as an executive assistant that never sleeps and can read a thousand documents in seconds.

Frankly, the sheer volume of regulatory updates, incident reports, and sustainability data you need to process is overwhelming. AI can help you stay on top of it all, giving you back precious hours that you can then spend on high-level strategic thinking, engaging with the Board, or building critical external relationships. It's about augmenting your capacity, not automating your role.

Automated Incident Triage & Executive Summaries

Imagine AI scanning thousands of incident and near-miss reports globally, identifying critical patterns, flagging high-potential events for your immediate attention, and then drafting a concise, board-ready executive summary within minutes. You'll get the critical insights without wading through every detail, allowing you to focus on strategic response.

Precursor Event Analysis & Predictive Risk

AI models can analyse millions of data points—from safety observations and training records to maintenance logs and weather patterns—to identify subtle precursor events that often lead to major incidents. This gives you a predictive edge, allowing you to direct resources to high-risk areas *before* a catastrophe, rather than just reacting to lagging indicators. It's about foresight, not hindsight.

Global Regulatory Change Summariser & Impact Analysis

Keeping up with ever-changing EHS and sustainability regulations across 50+ countries is a full-time job in itself. AI can monitor global regulatory databases, summarise key changes, identify which of our operations and policies are impacted, and even draft initial policy updates. You'll get the critical intelligence needed for strategic compliance without the manual effort.

ESG Disclosure & Investor Relations Drafting

When it comes to investor relations and ESG disclosures, precision and clarity are paramount. AI can help draft sections of your annual sustainability report, investor briefings, or responses to ESG rating agencies, ensuring consistent messaging and compliance with complex frameworks. It frees up your team to focus on data validation and strategic messaging, not just drafting.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a VP, EHS & Sustainability, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.
