Sustainability Business Developer - Logistics

Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a leading supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to providing complete and sustainable transport solutions. Together with TRATON and our sister brands MAN, Volkswagen Truck & Bus, and International, we are working to shape the future of mobility with innovative and environmentally conscious solutions. 

 

Our values – customer first, respect, team spirit, responsibility, and elimination of waste – are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are at the forefront of creating a sustainable future.

 

 

Why This Role?

Do you want to work at the intersection of business, sustainability, and global impact? At Scania Logistics, we go beyond moving goods — we’re redesigning how transportation networks contribute to a better, fairer world.

 

While we lead, and will continue to lead, the way in decarbonizing logistics, we’re now raising the bar on social sustainability. This role offers a unique opportunity to own, further develop and implement our global Fair Logistics agenda, shaping how thousands of transport workers — from truck drivers to ship crews — experience fairness, dignity, and safe working conditions.

 

If you're passionate about driving meaningful change and contributing to one of the transport industry’s most ambitious sustainability transformations — this is your opportunity.

 

 

About the Team

You’ll be part of a passionate and globally connected Sustainability team within Scania Logistics’ Strategy & Business Development organization. Together, we lead the shift to a decarbonized, fair, and circular logistics system, supporting Scania operations across Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

 

Our work is focused around three strategic areas: transport decarbonization, social sustainability, and circular business. As part of the team, you will take the lead in the social sustainability domain, while collaborating closely with colleagues working on the other focus areas to ensure alignment and shared progress.

 

You’ll contribute to building synergies across the full sustainability agenda, especially where social topics intersect with decarbonization and circularity. As we evolve toward more project-based ways of working, you will also support and participate in cross-functional initiatives that help embed social priorities into business decisions and logistics operations.

 

 

What You’ll Do

• Lead Scania’s Fair Logistics strategy, with a strong focus on human rights in transport supply chains
• Drive improvements in working conditions with our Logistics Service Providers (LSPs)
• Build and implement effective processes, KPIs, roadmaps, and governance models
• Collaborate across functions and geographies — internally and externally
• Monitor and respond to evolving regulations, including CSRD and CSDDD
• Represent Scania Logistics in internal networks and external sustainability forums
• Contribute to decarbonization and circularity initiatives when needed
• Lead or participate in strategic sustainability projects, especially where social, environmental, and business goals intersect
• Contribute to agile ways of working within the team and across stakeholders to accelerate sustainability impact
