Sustainability analyst with focus on supply chain decarbonisation

Driving the Shift and sustainability at Scania

Our corporate strategy brings Sustainability to a new ambition level. With our Science Based Targets we are taking a leap in our ambitions on carbon reduction in our operations but also committing to a customer offer with the lowest carbon footprint in the industry. We do this since it is critical to our future success.

Now we will take one step further and decarbonise the upstream emissions. The ambition is to make a great decrease of the fossil carbon bundled in our products until 2025, and continue the decrease until 2030 and further on. At R&D we will work closely together with the purchasing organisation to support with life cycle climate impact expertise and capabilities of analysing big data inputs related to new decarbonisation KPI.

Decarbonisation of Supply Chain at R&D

• Decarbonisation generally starts with design and early concept development. Design choices and material specifications sets the main frame in which further decarbonisation actions might be taken.
• A big proportion of the decarbonisation potential is about supplier selection and supplier development. Decarbonisation must be done in collaboration with the purchasing organisation and sometimes in partnerships with key suppliers.
• The principles and methods of decarbonisation is in line with the principles and methods of R&D – from elimination of waste to the principles that govern our modular way of thinking.
• The responsibility of decarbonisation follow up for upstream emissions is cross-functional, both within R&D and in Scania as a whole.
• Decision support that makes trade-offs very clear is key for taking a good path towards decarbonisation. Cost trade-offs will arise and also trade-offs towards sustainability aspects beyond climate impact.

What you will do

As a sustainability analyst with focus on supply chain decarbonisation you will:

• Work in a small team that work closely together with focus on sustainability.
• Build up a follow up tool (Matlab script and similar) to support the organisation with fast but yet robust analysis possibilities, which will be used for KPI follow up and input to sourcing strategies.
• Build know-how and support in the maintenance of the interlinked KPI for science based target for the use phase.
• Ensure effective cross-functional development and learning and coach the R&D and Purchasing organisations to deliver on their commitments and necessary inputs.
• Understand the needs of our stakeholders to prioritise and initiate and potential decarbonisation actions and which analyses to prioritise.
• Follow internal and external evolvement of existing and future decarbonisation frameworks (e.g. net zero frameworks).

Do you fit the profile?

You have a relevant university degree and a proven record of data structuring and coding in Matlab and similar software. You are structured, result oriented and have good analytical skills as well as a curious mindset.

It is natural for you to see things in a broad perspective as well as going into the details. You like to interact with people from different parts of the organisation and have a very good ability of presenting to broad audiences as well as transferring knowledge in smaller groups.

You are able to build up a fact base in the area of decarbonisation follow up where you will use both our LCA team and do your own analysis.
