Collaboration is at the heart of our strategy.

As a Sustainability Manager, you will play a pivotal role in delivering Tesco Ireland's Planet Plan.

The role entails working cross-functionally with teams across the business.
Developing and overseeing roadmaps to meet key Planet commitments, including: Scope 3 decarbonisation (with a focus on agriculture) Food waste reduction in Tesco's own operations Packaging and other post-2025 sustainability goals Integrating primary data into Scope 3 emissions models Embedding sustainability into category action plans and tracking progress Managing collaborative projects with suppliers and integrating findings into broader strategies Conducting risk analyses on climate and nature impacts to inform sourcing strategies Monitoring and implementing new EU and local sustainability legislation Engaging and influencing internal stakeholders to champion sustainability Preparing sustainability reports for both ROI and Group-level updates 4+ years of experience managing sustainability projects in food retail or FMCG Deep understanding of sustainability principles, frameworks, and legislation Strong communication and interpersonal skills Project planning and cross-functional coordination Analytical and problem-solving abilities Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Power Point A relevant third-level degree in sustainability Desirable Leadership and team management capabilities #LI-Hybrid #LI-BL2 Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move.
Our core purpose is "Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day".
Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers.
It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of, and for the planet.
Through initiatives like the Tesco Community Fund, our association with Children's Health Foundation, our partnership with Food Cloud and our Stronger Starts programme, we have supported over 21,000 community groups, raised over €7.5 million for medical equipment, and provided almost 15 million meals nationwide, to those living in food insecurity.
Tesco has operated in the Irish retail market since 1997, and with 170 stores nationwide, we employ over 13,000 people in cities and towns around Ireland, supporting almost 45,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
We partner with over 500 Irish suppliers - of which almost three-quarters are small and medium enterprises - which in turn supports almost 13,000 farming families around Ireland.
Tesco is the single largest buyer of Irish food and drink in the world, buying €1.6 Billion a year; more than any other single country in the European Union, more than even the USA which you perceive as a massive buyer of Irish food.
We work closely with suppliers across Ireland who are dedicated to making the best products for our customers and this is reflected in the numerous awards our products have won over the years including Bls Na hireann, World Steak Challenge and Great Taste Awards.
We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco where everyone truly feels able to be themselves.
It is embedded in our values: we treat people how they want to be treated.
At Tesco, we not only celebrate diversity, but recognise the value and opportunity it brings.
We always want our colleagues to feel they can be themselves at work and we are committed to helping them be at their best.
At Tesco, we champion a balance that lets you thrive both in and out of work.
Spend 60% of your week collaborating with colleagues at our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely.
Whether you're just kicking off your career, juggling passions, or navigating big life events, we're here to support you.
We always welcome a conversation about flexible working, so talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
We are building an inclusive workplace, a place to actively celebrate the cultures, personalities and preferences of our colleagues - who in turn help to build the success of our business and reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
We've taken steps to ensure our stores are places where everyone feels welcome to shop too, with colleagues all trained to support those with a visible or hidden disability through the Sunflower Lanyard programme.
We're a big business with diverse working patterns and many business areas which means that we can find something that works for you.
Tesco is committed to celebrating diversity and everyone is welcome at Tesco.
We're committed to providing a fully inclusive recruitment process, allowing candidates the opportunity to thrive and inform us of any reasonable adjustments they may require.
