As the lead for environmental projects at one of France’s largest retail cooperatives, you will take ownership of the group’s ecological roadmap across diverse operational workstreams. This role involves orchestrating complex initiatives ranging from carbon footprint assessments to the large-scale implementation of circular economy practices. You will work within the Quality and Sustainability department to ensure that environmental commitments are translated into concrete actions across more than 1,600 stores.
This position is critical because it bridges the gap between high-level sustainability strategy and the operational realities of massive retail logistics and food distribution. By tackling food waste and optimizing waste recovery, you directly influence the resource efficiency of a decentralized cooperative model. Your work ensures that the group remains at the forefront of environmental regulatory compliance while driving innovation in climate action.
This suits someone who possesses at least five years of experience in environmental management and thrives when coordinating cross-functional teams. You should be comfortable with data-heavy reporting and possess a pragmatic approach to problem-solving in a fast-paced retail context.
