ESG Controller

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Are you interested in creating the benchmark within a growing field? Scania has an exciting job offer for two ESG controllers to join our ESG function within Group Finance and Business control.

The ESG area (Environment, social and governance) is increasingly important within the business ecosystem. With a fast growing demand from customers and stakeholders such as investors and insurance providers it is of increasing importance, and influencing investment decisions, share prices, cost of capital and export credits. With new legal demands on reporting the importance will continue to grow.

The aim of future legislation is that ESG information shall have the same level of quality and assurance as financial information. This requires redesign and new thinking of the way of working within ESG reporting.
