• Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards (e.g. refer to specific PwC tax and audit guidance), the Firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.

The Opportunity

As part of the Sustainability team, you will play a pivotal role in helping clients measure and reduce their energy, water, waste and emissions, set ambitious sustainability targets, and build comprehensive decarbonization roadmaps. Your expertise will be instrumental in improving product sustainability and establishing enhanced data and technology capabilities to support both internal sustainability programs and external reporting needs. As a Senior Associate, you will lead complex projects, leveraging your knowledge to deliver impactful results and foster trusted client relationships to drive success across teams.
