EY - Associate Director - Sustainability Role

- EY is on a journey to transform its positive impact by becoming an accelerator of sustainable, inclusive growth, advancing innovation and practices that enable as many people as possible to contribute to, and share in the benefits of, economic growth. This includes significantly increasing our social impact, operating responsibly across all aspects of our business, and combatting climate change.-

By taking a consistent, global approach, we will engage and inspire thousands more of our people to give their time to work with beneficiaries and apply their knowledge, skills and experience. Consistency is achieved by focusing our attention on three strategic focus areas:

- Working with impact entrepreneurs - we will help impact entrepreneurs to scale innovative business models for tackling the causes and symptoms of social inequality by improving their resilience, productivity and capacity for growth.

- Supporting the next generation - we will mentor young people to develop the mind-set and transferable skills they need most to find and sustain meaningful work in a transformative age, better equipping them to adapt and thrive whatever the future of work holds in store.

- Advancing Environmental Sustainability - we will collaborate across a broad stakeholder landscape, directing EY people skills towards scaling adoption of behaviors, technologies and business models that accelerate progress toward a zero carbon, circular economy
