ATS CV Guide for CSR Project Managers — Evidence-Led & Framework-Ready

CSR Project Manager with experience delivering measurable sustainability programmes tied to CSRD/ESRS disclosure requirements and operational controls. I translate carbon accounting and environmental management into delivery roadmaps, using the GHG Protocol to quantify Scope 1–2–3 emissions (tCO2e) and track reduction trajectories. I also support audit readiness by structuring evidence packs and data workflows in line with assurance expectations. Recognised for turning cross-functional stakeholder input into executable plans using Power BI dashboards and disciplined KPI reporting in Excel.

Specialisms include ISO 14001 programme deployment, ESG reporting alignment (GRI and CSRD mapping), and value-chain engagement through supplier sustainability coverage metrics. I’ve managed initiatives spanning energy efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable procurement, maintaining clear governance, change control, and corrective actions. Typical outcomes include quantified reductions in electricity consumption (kWh), waste diversion or landfill avoidance, and increased supplier response rates. I communicate complex requirements in a way operational teams can apply consistently, improving both delivery performance and data quality for reporting.

Lead CSR programme delivery for multi-site operations, building a CSRD/ESRS reporting readiness workstream that mapped material topics to disclosures and established a data collection schedule. I coordinated teams across procurement, operations, HR, and finance, ensuring each input was traceable and prepared for assurance review. Using the GHG Protocol, I calculated baselines for Scopes 1–2–3 and implemented improvement initiatives to reduce emissions; results included a 14% reduction in Scope 2 electricity-related emissions and progress on supplier coverage towards 68% submission to sustainability questionnaires. Project tracking and reporting were managed through Jira workflows and KPI visualisation in Power BI.

Deployed ISO 14001-aligned environmental management system controls, including documentation updates, internal audit planning, and corrective action closure. I defined ownership for environmental objectives and measurable targets, then used Excel-based tracking to monitor progress, risks, and control effectiveness across functions. To strengthen the circular economy and waste outcomes, I delivered interventions with operational teams and reported improvements such as increased recycling rate and reduced waste sent to landfill. Stakeholder engagement included training sessions with post-training assessments, raising compliance rates and improving the accuracy of environmental data used in ESG reporting.

Maintain rigorous carbon accounting using GHG Protocol, including emission factor version control, activity data validation, and scenario modelling for abatement pathways. I’ve managed data quality checks that identify outliers, missing inputs, and unit conversion issues to protect the integrity of tCO2e results. Where appropriate, I supported LCA-related assessments to compare product or process impacts and inform sustainable procurement decisions. Outputs are packaged into assurance-ready documentation, with clear audit trails from source data to final figures.

Support ESG reporting mapping and disclosure preparation by aligning programme evidence to CSRD/ESRS requirements and supplementing with GRI indicators where beneficial for stakeholder communication. I built repeatable reporting templates and automated extracts to reduce manual effort and improve timeliness. KPI reporting typically includes emissions intensity, energy usage per unit, waste metrics (e.g., kg/tonne), and supplier engagement coverage. This structured approach ensures programme delivery and reporting remain consistent across reporting cycles.

Run programme governance with clear RACI, risk registers, and stage-gate approvals, ensuring sustainability deliverables are treated with the same discipline as operational projects. I facilitate stakeholder workshops with procurement teams, site leaders, and finance counterparts to remove blockers and agree on measurable targets. Change management is supported through practical guidance, training, and role-based communication, with evidence captured for reporting and internal assurance. Where teams require adoption support, I measure effectiveness using participation rates and quiz-based assessments, then adjust training content accordingly.

Drive sustainable procurement initiatives by defining supplier expectations, monitoring response rates, and tracking improvement actions tied to emissions and resource efficiency. I manage supplier engagement through structured questionnaires and follow-up processes, then translate responses into coverage metrics and risk insights. To maintain momentum, I report progress using a KPI cadence aligned to programme milestones and governance meetings. This improves both supplier performance and the completeness of ESG data used for CSRD-related submissions.
