• Act as procurement’s single point of coordination for sustainability topics, ensuring external ESG and regulatory requirements (CSRD, CSDDD, EUDR, PPWR, SBTi) are effectively translated into practical, scalable and business‑relevant procurement policies, processes, tools and technologies, in close collaboration with Group and local ESG teams.
• Act as the global policy owner of the Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC), ensuring consistent governance, implementation and continuous improvement across Bnode.

b. Decarbonisation – Scope 3

• Lead and steer procurement’s contribution to Scope 3 decarbonisation, with a strong performance‑management mindset focused on year‑on‑year emission reduction outcomes.
• Design and coordinate supplier engagement programs (e.g. CO₂ Coach trajectory) and define supplier prioritisation based on spend, ESG risk and carbon intensity, ensuring efforts are focused where impact is highest.

c. Supply Chain Due Diligence & ESG Compliance

• Ensure the group‑wide implementation of the Supplier Code of Conduct across RFPs, contracts, purchase orders and renewals, and define clear supplier self‑assessment, validation and sign‑off processes.
• Govern sustainability assessment frameworks and tools (e.g. EcoVadis or equivalent, SBTi), ensuring appropriate scope, cadence and effective use of results for risk mitigation and supplier improvement.
• Prepare and support procurement teams in addressing due‑diligence and regulatory requirements (including CSDDD, EUDR and PPWR), translating obligations into actionable procurement guidance and practices.

d. Tools, Data & Reporting

• Coordinate sustainable procurement tools and data flows in close collaboration with IT, Finance and ESG teams, and actively scan the market for fit‑for‑purpose solutions that support procurement sustainability objectives.
• Own and monitor agreed ESG KPIs and provide structured reporting inputs for internal steering, supplier performance management, ESG ratings and external disclosures, including the annual report.
• In charge of maintaining and upgrading over time the Scope 3 calculation methodology, as well as the results.

• Work closely with category teams and buyers, positioning as a trusted partner in sourcing cycles and tender calendars, providing hands‑on support where sustainability impact can be maximized.
• Act as a procurement sustainability ambassador, representing procurement internally and externally, and driving awareness, engagement and adoption through strong influencing and communication skills.

f. Project & Stakeholder Management

• Manage multiple transversal projects with high complexity, visibility and cross‑functional dependencies.
