Sustainability à Malaisie

At Nippon Paint, sustainability is not a support function - it is a core business driver. We are transforming how we design, source, manufacture and deliver our products to create long-term value for our customers, shareholders and communities. As part of this journey, we are strengthening our carbon, ESG and climate-risk capabilities across the Group.

We are looking for a Manager - Group Sustainability to lead the Group’s decarbonisation, carbon accounting and ESG reporting agenda, and to embed sustainability into how the business makes decisions, manages risk and drives growth.

This role leads the Group’s carbon accounting, decarbonisation and ESG reporting agenda. You will drive the development of robust product and corporate carbon data, oversee compliance with global sustainability reporting standards, and support the organisation in understanding and responding to climate-related risks and opportunities. As a regional sustainability leader, you will work across functions - operations, finance, procurement, innovation and business units- to embed sustainability-related initiatives into business processes, supplier networks and product development, while building strong internal capabilities to support the Group’s long-term climate and ESG commitments.

1. Stakeholder Engagement & Capability Building

   Partner with internal stakeholders (e.g., operations, finance, procurement, business units) to integrate sustainability initiatives into daily business processes. Engage external stakeholders including auditors, consultants, regulators and investors on ESG- disclosures, assurance and sustainability-related matters. Build Group-wide sustainability capabilities through training, guidance and knowledge sharing.

2. Sustainability Reporting & Compliance

   Lead sustainability reporting in line with global and industry specific reporting frameworks including GRI, SASB, and ISSB (IFRS S1/S2) at Group, regional or business unit level. Ensure alignment with evolving local and international ESG disclosure requirements. Drive double materiality assessments, ESG data consolidation and preparation of annual sustainability disclosures.

3. Carbon Accounting & Decarbonisation

   Oversee the measurement and reporting of Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions in line with the GHG Protocol. Develop and drive decarbonisation roadmaps, energy efficiency initiatives and climate-transition plans aligned with corporate net-zero or science-based targets. Work with internal teams to ensure consistent, auditable carbon data management and reporting processes. Partner with procurement to embed ESG and sustainability criteria into supplier selection, evaluation and performance management, in line with Supplier Code of Conduct and sustainable procurement policies. Support supplier engagement and capability building to improve ESG transparency, emissions data quality and low-carbon sourcing. Work with the Innovation and Product Stewardship pillar leaders to develop robust PCF, LCA and EPD databases by mapping carbon emission factors to raw materials and formulations. Lead the facilitation of climate scenario analysis using relevant global pathways (e.g., IPCC, IEA), to assess physical and transition risks. Quantify climate-related financial risks and opportunities across short-, medium- and long-term horizons and integrate insights into business planning. Support the integration of climate risk into enterprise risk management frameworks.

4. Data Management & Performance Tracking

   Ensure accuracy, consistency and traceability of ESG and carbon data across reporting systems. Support or implement ESG and carbon management platforms to improve data quality and reporting efficiency. Track and report progress against climate targets, emissions reduction KPIs and ESG performance. Monitor emerging ESG standards, regulations and market expectations (e.g., ISSB adoption, regional mandates). Translate regulatory and stakeholder developments into actionable insights for the Group’s sustainability strategy
