The Team
GFG’s Sustainability Team functions as a high-performance Center of Excellence (CoE). We are a multidisciplinary group of strategists and sustainability specialists who act as the bridge between GFG’s ambitious People & Planet Positive strategy and its complex regional operations across Australia, New Zealand, Latin America and Southeast Asia. Rather than a traditional administrative function, the team is built like a strategic tech unit, prioritising data integrity, radical transparency, and the rapid adoption of AI to drive decarbonisation.
Scope of Role
Sustainability reporting is no longer a yearly exercise, it is a continuous, high-integrity operation. As a Sustainability Analyst at GFG, you will be the architect of our digital ESG "Source of Truth." You will leverage AI-driven automation and the Google Workspace to ensure our climate and social data is not just compliant with CSRD/ESRS and any regional regulatory requirements, but is assurance ready at all times.
You will be reporting to the Head of Climate & Reporting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and you will support the delivery of GFG’s People & Planet Positive strategic objectives and science-based targets. You will be an integral part of the GFG sustainability journey enabling our operations and customers across the world towards embracing state of the art sustainability practices.

- Predictive Modeling: Develop “What-if” scenarios to forecast how operational changes can impact GFG’s carbon footprint
- Internal Transparency: Empower regional teams with self-service analytics, allowing them to monitor their own People & Planet Positive performance metrics.
- Regulatory Mastery (CSRD/ESRS & SBTi)
- Map GFG’s carbon and social data to ESRS requirements to meet CSRD mandates.
- Scope 3 Inventory: Transition GFG from spend-based estimates to activity-based carbon accounting for the supply chain, focusing on high-impact categories like Purchased Goods and Logistics.
- Assurance Lead: Act as the technical point of contact for external auditors, providing the methodology and evidence required for limited and reasonable assurance cycles.
