Environmental managers oversee the performance of organisations, making sure environmental standards and legislation are met

As an environmental manager or sustainability manager, you will ensure that an organisation is operating in accordance with environmental guidelines and targets. Your role will involve examining corporate activities to determine where improvements can be made and ensuring compliance with environmental legislation across the organisation.

You will also create, implement and monitor environmental strategies to promote sustainable development. Your wide remit means you will review the whole operation, carrying out environmental audits and assessments, identifying and resolving environmental problems and ensuring necessary changes are implemented.
