Want to do the best work of your life? Playing your part in making a big difference to the environment and communities we serve. Our people make Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work – a place where you can be yourself and let your skills shine.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Severn Trent is viewed as a corporate leader in sustainability with a clear sense of direction and a strong link to the communities it serves. As a company taking care of one of life’s essentials, water, we know that the success of our business is intrinsically linked to the prosperity and resilience of our region, its communities and the natural environment. We believe sustainability is core to our approach to value creation and is not an additive strategy to our day-to-day operation.

Over the next five years and beyond, we will deliver against a range of ambitious commitments in climate change, biodiversity, land management and resources and social value. In the role of Sustainability Analyst, you will play an essential role in a central sustainability team and be Severn Trent’s expert in sustainability reporting, ensuring that the data collected for our annual Sustainability Report is available, robust and assured, along with completion of our ESG indices and supporting with analysis to inform business decisions. You will also play a key role in the evolving maturity of our approach to social value and the data that underpins it. You will operate in a culture that is supportive and puts the environment and people at the top of its agenda. Responsibilities of the role will evolve in order to meet the needs of the business and to reflect the fast-moving sustainability landscape.

Are you someone with a strong analytical/numerical skillset, along with report writing and oral presentation skills. Are you someone with a good understanding of sustainability challenges and ESG issues?

Some of your other key accountabilities will include:

• Responsible for the data collection and assurance of end of year non-financial reporting (excluding greenhouse gas data) including any relevant audits, that will be included in the Sustainability Report.
• Produce quarterly internal sustainability performance reports including reports and papers submitted to the Corporate Sustainability Committee.
• Support production of wider sustainability reporting, executive management materials and wider communications including the annual Sustainability Report and website content.
• Provide data and assurance support for the data that underpins our social value calculations as well as working with and supporting delivery teams with data evidence requirements and data analysis.
• Work alongside the ESG & Social Impact Insight Specialist to ensure our environmental, social, governance performance (ESG) is accurately represented and continue to achieve best in class rating across key investor indices
• Track effectiveness of reporting through key indices including Bloomberg, MSCI, Sustainalytics & FTSE4GOOD scores, and alignment to GRI standard
• Support with mentoring and line management of interns and graduates

To be considered for this role, we are looking for experience in sustainability reporting and non-financial data.
