Job description & summary

At a glance
Imagine you are standing among the gently rolling hills of Moravia wine region, surrounded by the immaculate grapevine trellises of an award-winning winery. You are a sustainability analyst and your task is to help companies measure, monitor and report on their CO2 and other Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Your client is a forward-thinking winery that contracted PwC to determine their
baseline carbon footprint and recommend effective strategies to reduce their carbon output. During this visit to the winery, you will measure your client’s resource consumption and analyze these results using a series of unit conversion factors that will indicate their baseline carbon footprint. Back at the office, you will work with your team to develop a tool that the winery can use to track
energy use and emissions. The new tool will be critical in helping the winery to manage its carbon emissions. As a sustainability consultant, you make a positive difference by helping your clients implement socially responsible and cost-effective changes that lower the environmental impact of their operations.
