Drive and implement our strong sustainability strategy across the business
Overall, you will be a part of Danish Crown, QEHS & Sustainability and more specifically your role will be in leading our efforts to implement our new LCA model.

In this position, your main responsibility will be to drive and implement our LCA model across the different business units in the organization. You will take the lead in continuously developing and improving our LCA standards, processes, and metrics to build strong transparency and support for strategic decision-making across business units.

Your main tasks will include

• Deliver strong knowledge on LCA systems for transparency, decisions and customer support.
• Develop and improve Danish Crown´s LCA model, data processes, and metrics to build a stronger transparency and support for decision-making among our colleagues and customers. 
• Participate in, manage, and ensure the quality of LCA Research & Development projects in Danish Crown as well as establishing new projects in close collaboration with our business units and customers.
• Document and follow up on the different Sustainable Farming initiatives whilst reporting on progress and drafting presentations for decision forums e.g. boards or the like.
