Its purpose is to ensure that the TRU Sustainability Team has timely access to qualified and experienced sustainability professions, thereby enhancing their ability to adapt to evolving business demands. The TRU Sustainability team requires resources to support with fulfilling specific responsibilities linked to discharging the sustainability requirements, managing the TRU Enterprise Level Sustainable Development Strategy, collecting and managing data for periodic reporting against the sustainability objectives and targets and undertaking assurance activities against the delivery partners. Additionally, sustainability support is required within TRU Central 'hub team'.
