Nature is the living system that makes all economic activity possible. From clean water, filtered by forests, to birds controlling crop-eating insects, nature quietly sustains us every day. Businesses and governments therefore have a lot to gain from understanding how their decisions impact ecosystems. Life’s intrinsic right to exist is inalienable and rules to protect it need monitoring to check that they are effective. But how do we measure impacts on biodiversity? And how can we use that information to improve how we steward ecosystems?

Most of our daily lives have come to rely on petrochemical products: plastic packaging, car parts, building materials, synthetic clothing, electronics, paints, detergents, medical equipment… the list goes on. The industry brands itself as the “mother of all industries” for a reason: it sits behind countless products and value chains. And the climate footprint is massive.
We are looking for a highly motivated Programme Officer to join our Circular Economy & Nature team as soon as possible. The successful candidate will work on standardisation, policy developments, and project management related to ecodesign and energy labelling, in the framework of the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), with a focus on textiles, apparel, and footwear.
