At Havas, we believe we can make a meaningful difference to the brands, people, and communities we work with. As our Sustainability Analyst, you’ll be at the heart of this mission—turning data into action and helping shape the future of our business and industry.

This role is perfect for someone with a sharp eye for detail and a head for numbers, but also an ambition to drive positive change. You’ll work across teams, crunching the numbers that guide our sustainability decisions, and helping embed environmental responsibility into every corner of our business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Data & Reporting

• Collect, monitor, and report on sustainability performance across Havas UK & Ireland.
• Lead our annual global sustainability reporting process—gathering data from across the network, liaising with local teams and agencies, and ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
• Support our consultants with mandatory energy reporting (e.g SECR, ESOS).
• Support our ambition to measure our footprint more accurately by collecting additional Scope 3 emissions data and improving data quality year-on-year.
  
  

Environmental Management (ISO 14001)

• Maintain and update our Integrated Management System (IMS) and prepare for annual ISO 14001 audits with the support of external consultants.
• Review and refine key documents such as the Environmental Policy and Risk Register, and track progress against environmental objectives.
  
  

Internal Engagement & Communication

• Be a key voice in our internal sustainability efforts—draft presentations, present at meetings and workshops, and communicate updates across the business.
• Help grow ‘Roots’, our employee-led sustainability community, by supporting events, communications, and engagement.
  
  

Global Collaboration

• Act as the UK & Ireland point-person for global sustainability initiatives—such as responsible sourcing and Havas’ Carbon Impact Calculator tool for measuring campaign emissions.
• Lead training sessions and provide hands-on support to teams adopting new sustainability tools and practices.
  
  

New Business & Policy Support

• Respond to sustainability questions in RFIs and RFPs and help us win new business by showcasing our environmental credentials.
• Keep key policies like our Modern Slavery Statement and Carbon Reduction Plan up to date.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and best practices by conducting research and sharing insights.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Data-savvy: You’re comfortable with numbers, spreadsheets, and seeing patterns in complex data.
• Detail-oriented: You spot inconsistencies and care about getting it right.
• Purpose-driven: You believe in sustainability and want to make a real difference.
• Curious and proactive: You love learning and finding better ways of doing things.
• Collaborative communicator: You can translate complex topics into clear, engaging communications.
• Familiarity with sustainability frameworks (e.g., GHG Protocol, ISO 14001) is desired.
