HR Sustainability Lead

Are you an experienced sustainability expert, and would you like to work in a change-driven, people-oriented, and international environment? Are you looking for an opportunity to take a leading role in the execution of the sustainability strategy for our HR function and contribute to NN’s overall strategic ambitions?

What you are going to do

We believe that the financial sector has an important role to play in the transition to a sustainable economy. As a values-led company, NN is committed to doing business with the future in mind and contributing to a world where people can thrive for many generations to come.

Sustainability is reflected in our company’s strategic commitments and implemented in our different roles as an insurer, pension provider, bank, investor, business partner, buyer – and of course, as an employer. Within HR we want to ensure that we are able to deliver on our company’s ambitions by doing what we do best: building a Future Ready workforce, creating the best Employee Experience, and being a digital & data driven One HR team.

To make sure we adequately identify opportunities and risks and address all legal requirements in the area of ESG and sustainability within our HR function, we are looking for a HR Sustainability lead. The ‘S’ in ESG is an essential component of our sustainability approach and HR has an important role to play in contributing to our performance in the area. As HR sustainability lead, you will translate the company’s overall Sustainability & Social impact strategy into a relevant and measurable operational approach for HR.

Your responsibilities

As HR Sustainability lead, you are a real team player and operate in a customer centric manner, you are highly interested in external (ESG) developments, and you are keen to drive the HR sustainability agenda for NN Group.

Your responsibilities include:

• Develop and implement a sustainability approach, operational plan, targets, and specific initiatives for NN’s HR function, fully aligned with NN’s overall sustainability strategy and social roadmap
• Collaborate with other teams and departments – such as the Group Sustainability & Social Impact Expert Centre, Corporate Communications, Facility Management – to integrate sustainability initiatives into HR policies, controls and practices
• Conduct gap assessments and audits to identify areas for improvement within HR, and develop action plans to address any gaps

• Monitor and report on sustainability performance metrics related to our workforce
• Represent HR in various internal working groups and networks, and contribute to the development of NN’s annual reporting process
• Stay up-to-date on sustainability best practices and trends, and provide recommendations for continuous improvement, including opportunities to leverage technology and innovation to drive sustainability outcomes for HR
