ESG Paralegal

We are currently looking to recruit a ESG Paralegal to work at our Liverpool Headquarters on a full time, permanent contract. 

What will you do?       

As an ESG Paralegal, you will support the Legal and Regulatory teams in ensuring that Vitaflo meets all compliance, corporate governance, reporting and disclosure requirements and related KPI's for all ESG areas, including: (i) business integrity and anti‑bribery, (ii) sustainability and environment (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, CSDDD, CSR), (iii) employee-related obligations (e.g. gender pay gap reporting, DE&I, whistleblowing protections) (iv) supply chain (e.g. modern slavery, EUDR/PPWR, responsible sourcing, supplier screening) and other ESG‑related legal obligations.

You will assist in developing, maintaining, and implementing policies, procedures, and reporting frameworks that ensure Vitaflo meets its statutory and corporate responsibilities.

• This role requires a technically strong individual who has previous experience of ESG compliance.
