• Manage Sustainability Projects: Drive sustainability-focused project reviews (with a primary focus on Early Phases) and own key deliverables such as Sustainability One-Pagers.

• Represent GCI Internally & Externally: Represent sustainable production within international networks, champion Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, and represent Roche in external expert forums (such as the Dechema Forum).
