- Prepare, format, and present ESG-related data and findings in professional reports.
- Contribute to the creation and refinement of PKF South Africa Inc.'s ESG and sustainability-related tools, templates, and materials.
- Support financial modelling, budgeting, and scenario analysis for ESG-related projects.
- Support the execution of PKF South Africa Inc.'s internal sustainability strategy, including carbon accounting and NetZero commitments.
Key Requirements:
- A degree in BSc Environmental Science, Sustainability, Bcom Accounting/Finance, Economics or a related field.
- Preliminary knowledge of ESG frameworks (e.g., GRI, SASB, TCFD) and relevant environmental or sustainability legislation.
- Proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word, with the ability to create professional presentations, perform data analysis, and draft high-quality reports.
