Climate & Sustainability Data Specialist

About Acomo

ACOMO N.V. listed on the Euronext Amsterdam (ACOMO), is the holding company of an international group of companies that source, trade, process, package and distribute conventional and organic food products and food ingredients for the global food and beverage industry. Acomo connects suppliers and customers in more than 100 countries. The Group operates through a decentralised model, with operating companies active across different product categories, markets and geographies.

We are looking for a hands-on and ambitious Climate & Sustainability Data Specialist to help further develop and implement Acomo’s climate agenda, strengthen ESG data processes and support sustainability reporting.

You will join the holding team in Rotterdam, where we work pragmatically, with short lines, a high level of involvement and room to take ownership. You will work closely with the Group Sustainability Manager and collaborate with sustainability, finance, HR, quality and operational colleagues across Acomo’s operating companies.

What will you do?

In this role, you will focus on climate strategy, data and practical implementation across the Group. You will help further develop and execute Acomo’s climate agenda, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and entity roadmaps.

ESG reporting and data consolidation are also an important part of the role. Reliable data is the foundation for better decision-making, target-setting and progress monitoring. You will therefore not only collect and report data, but also challenge it, understand what drives the numbers, translate insights into action and help entities move from reporting towards impact.

Your main responsibilities

Climate strategy and broader sustainability support

• Further improve calculations of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with the GHG Protocol and Acomo’s existing methodologies.
• Support the development of Acomo Group ambitions and work with operating companies through practical roadmaps. This means you will help translate climate (data) insights into concrete actions, reduction opportunities and work together with different stakeholders in a complex setting.
• Contribute to improving the quality, consistency and usefulness of climate data across the Group.
• Help ensure that relevant sustainability policies, procedures and guidance are further developed and implemented across the Group.
• Depending on your background and interests, support other sustainability topics such as nature & biodiversity, human rights due diligence and responsible sourcing.

ESG data, reporting and controls

• Coordinate the quarterly ESG reporting process across Acomo’s operating companies, including collecting, consolidating, validating and managing ESG data, metrics and KPIs using systems such as Tagetik, ensuring accuracy and completeness as well as identifying trends, anomalies and improvement areas.
• Support the integration of new entities into Acomo’s sustainability reporting processes and systems.
• Engage with data owners across finance, sustainability, quality, HR and operations to understand where figures come from, why performance changes and how data quality can be improved.
• Support the preparation of ESG performance reports and other internal sustainability updates.
• Support the preparation of non-financial data for the annual report and ESG disclosures. In this period, you help facilitate the audit process by coordinating between data owners, the Group Sustainability team and external auditors.
