ESG controller

Jord is a Swedish company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Stockholm.

Jord’s mission is to balance the carbon cycle and deliver renewable products. The company is revolutionizing the procurement and production of fuel pellets by using C4 grasses as the main raw material, focusing on creating a CO₂e-negative fuel.

Our holistic approach not only produces renewable solid biofuels but also removes thousands of tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere and stores it back in the soil, effectively restoring the natural carbon cycle. Jord’s unique process addresses three challenges simultaneously:

• Regenerating marginal land
• Replacing fossil fuels with renewable solid biofuels
• Removing CO₂ from the atmosphere

Jord AB is part of the Borga Holding Group, based in Skara. Jord AB has subsidiaries in the Dominican Republic and Senegal, and the position involves ongoing contact with both companies.

You will work closely with our CEO and other key people in the company to implement and further develop the company’s overall sustainability work, focusing on reporting, regulations, data analysis, and structure.

This is a role where you have a unique opportunity to work broadly, both operationally and strategically, and to shape not only your position but also Jord AB’s sustainability and financial controlling work going forward.
