There’s More to Gü...

Big news, treat lovers – Gü is now a Certified B Corporation!

With a certification score of 89.4, we’ve officially joined a global movement using business as a force for good. As one of fewer than 100 UK manufacturers leading the charge in sustainability and social impact, we’re proud of our 100% recyclable packaging and our iconic, up-cyclable glass ramekins.

Are you passionate about driving meaningful environmental and social change? We’re looking for a dynamic Sustainability Lead to lead and evolve our sustainability strategy across our Bishop’s Stortford manufacturing site and Shepherd’s Bush office.

In this pivotal role, you’ll work closely with Technical, Procurement, People, and Operations teams to embed sustainability across the business. From leading site-wide initiatives and managing key certifications (including B-Corp, RSPO, and RFA), to developing carbon frameworks and driving continuous improvement across our supply chain — you’ll be at the heart of shaping a more sustainable future.

Key responsibilities:
• Leading and delivering our sustainability strategy aligned to business goals and external standards
• Driving environmental, ethical, and social impact programmes across sites
• Embedding carbon reduction and whole-life carbon thinking into operations
• Managing sustainability certifications and compliance with UK and international legislation
• Developing policies, KPIs, and systems to improve transparency

We’re looking for someone who is:

  * Passionate about sustainability and making a real impact

  * Experienced in working cross-functionally and influencing stakeholders

  * Highly organised, detail-focused, and proactive

  * Confident managing multiple priorities and driving change

The Mindset

  * Pioneering – brings fresh ideas and spots opportunities

  * Accountable – owns projects from brief to evaluation

  * Collaborative – builds strong cross-functional relationships

  * Considerate – culturally aware and empathetic

  * Energetic – resilient, optimistic, and driven

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business committed to responsible growth, where you can take ownership and truly make a difference.
