Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves working with 2 central function teams: Environment and Sustainability. These teams are incredibly overstretched so I work to support them on a variety of CSR and Carbon-related tasks, and other areas too. I have been given responsibility in net zero strategy research and volunteering promotion.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
It is gradually increasing and is at a level that I am comfortable with right now.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
