Your key responsibilities will be:

• Support collection of enterprise-wide sustainability data and supporting documentation for external and internal reporting needs.
• Support the calculation and management of Fidelity’s Greenhouse Gas inventory.
• Through collaboration with key internal partners, maintain the accuracy and consistency of the sustainability data generated internally, or from partners, that is required to measure our progress and report to stakeholders.

• Monitor and assess competitor Corporate Sustainability programs on an ongoing basis and conduct peer and corporate leader benchmarking to inform strategic planning.
• Review and monitor pertinent sustainability standards, frameworks and regulations to assess impact on internal processes.
