SUSTAINABILITY EXECUTIVE


Location - Mumbai,HO.

Grade - JM3.

Experience - 3–4 years.

Qualification

B.E./B.Tech/M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science, Energy, or related discipline. Additional certification (GHG Protocol, LCA, IEMA) is a plus, not a substitute for hands-on experience.

Role Mandate

We need a technically strong individual contributor to run the quantitative core of our environmental and ESG function — GHG inventory modelling, product LCA, operational environmental data systems, climate risk quantification, and ESG disclosure data integrity. Candidates from manufacturing/FMCG environments with genuine hands-on technical exposure will be prioritized over those with only reporting or coordination backgrounds.

Core Responsibilities

1. GHG Inventory & Carbon Accounting

  • Build and maintain Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories across Marico business geographies, as per GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Scope 3 Standard.
  • Manage activity data mapping to emission factors (DEFRA, IPCC, IEA, EPA, ecoinvent) with defensible boundary-setting and consolidation approach (equity share / operational / financial control).
  • Handle Scope 2 dual reporting (location-based vs. market-based) using residual mix / RECs.
  • Support SBTi target-setting, trajectory modelling, and abatement cost-curve (MACC) inputs.
  • Manage year-on-year base year recalculation triggers (structural changes, methodology shifts, M&A).

2. Operational Environmental Sustainability Accounting

  • Own site-level data architecture for energy (fuel-wise, grid-wise), water.
  • (withdrawal/consumption/discharge per GRI 303), waste (hazardous/non-hazardous, diversion rate), biodiversity and effluent/air emission parameters.
  • Build data validation protocols against utility bills, meter logs, and CEMS/CPCB data to catch input errors before consolidation.
  • Track specific energy consumption (SEC) and specific water consumption (SWC) trends by plant.

3. Product Sustainability Assessments / LCA

  • Execute cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave LCAs using ISO 14040/14044 methodology.
  • Build product carbon footprint (PCF) models per ISO 14067 / PAS 2050.
  • Support product sustainability assessments across portfolios, using EcoIndex, Marico’s in-house product sustainability assessment framework.

4. Climate Risk Quantification

  • Support TCFD-aligned physical risk (acute/chronic hazard exposure) and transition risk (carbon pricing, policy, technology) assessment
  • Run climate scenario analysis using RCP/SSP pathways and translate into financial/operational risk metrics
  • Support internal carbon price (ICP) application in capex/investment decisions.

5. ESG Data Management & Disclosure Integrity

  • Own the data backbone for BRSR (Environmental KPIs), CDP (Climate/Water/Forest) submissions.
  • Build and maintain data control frameworks — version control, source documentation, audit trail — for third-party assurance (limited/reasonable assurance under ISAE 3410/3000)
  • Manage data consolidation across multiple sites/BUs with reconciliation checks.

Must-Have Technical Skills

  • Working command of GHG Protocol (Corporate + Scope 3), ISO 14064-1, ISO 14040/44
  • Demonstrated experience building an emission inventory or LCA independently, not just maintaining an inherited model.
  • Advanced Excel/data modeling skills (can build and audit a multi-tab emission calculation model without breaking it); Power BI/Power Query a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with at least one LCA tool (preferably GaBi) or emission factor database navigation.
  • Exposure to BRSR/CDP/DJSI questionnaire data requirements.
