WasteAid

Our vision is a world with equal access to waste services for all.

Helping communities and governments manage their waste properly is vital if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Waste management has a powerful and positive impact on people’s well-being.

Our mission – fighting poverty, pollution and climate change

Around 1 in 3 people globally don’t have decent waste management. Pollution caused by waste harms people’s health and the environment and damages the local economy. In contrast, an affordable waste management system is relatively simple to implement, improving the environment, creating jobs and protecting public health – particularly for children.

Plastic pollution in the marine environment is of major global concern, and WasteAid is helping tackle this global problem. We work with upstream and coastal communities to set up small recycling centres and help keep plastic out of rivers and the oceans. We also share skills in managing organic waste, helping people make the most with their resources.

Open dumping and burning of waste releases climate change emissions, contribute to both short-term and long-term impacts. Black soot from burning and methane from open dumping are of special concern. We offer communities a safe and sustainable alternative to dangerous dumpsites and toxic air pollution.

Our values

Our founding principles come from our origins in the waste management industry, which itself grew out of the public health movement in the UK in the late Victorian era. We believe in equality of access to decent public health for all people and advocate the role of good waste management to achieve this.  We are inclusive and empowering of the communities in developing countries that we seek to serve and support.  We believe in the power of appropriate technology transfer, training and skills development to create livelihoods and reduce pollution.

We are collaborative and work in a collegiate spirit with all partners and funders.

Our objectives are to:

Inspire and inform communities and individuals who want to improve how waste is managed in their communities and encourage them to act.  Support and help communities use waste management to protect public health, reduce pollution and create sustainable livelihoods.  Campaign to increase awareness of the problems caused by open dumping and burning and the urgent need for change.

We achieve these objectives by ensuring that we have:

Financial sustainability for our organisation and securing our ability to grow our impact.

Global Canopy is data-drive think tank that targets the market forces destroying nature. Over the last two years, fires raging in the Amazon have focused global attention on this critical issue like never before. In response, 230 investors with USD $16.2 trillion in assets under management publicly demanded corporate action on deforestation in the Amazon and beyond. This project manager role is responsible for effective coordination of resources across the projects under our Corporate Performance and ESG programme, reporting directly to the programme lead. 

This is an important and fast-growing area of work, responding to a growing need among companies, financial institutions and governments for the best possible information on how market actors are tackling their impacts on forests and nature.  Our world-leading deforestation data (see, for example, Trase Finance and Forest 500) is used by the private sector and civil society to enable action and improve accountability. This work is now being integrated with data from partners worldwide, to produce aligned common metrics that can significantly improve mainstream ESG metrics in this area and ultimately drive finance away from destructive activities. 

The project manager will support the programme lead to create project plans, manage tasks across teams, report to donors, and manage budgets. They will ensure any issues are escalated in a timely way, and that the projects can achieve their objectives on time and on budget. The project manager will also from time to time carry out research to support Global Canopy’s strategies and engagement.

Above all they will have a deep interest in environmental metrics, the determination and ambition to deliver with excellence, and the maturity and diplomatic skills to work effectively with different teams internally, and leading private, public and third sector partners worldwide.

To be successful in this role, these are the things that will matter the most:

• Experienced project manager delivering outcomes across a diverse team and multiple projects.

• Strong judgement and emotional intelligence in balancing and managing trade-offs, while bringing people with you.

• Relevant sector experience, a drive to contribute to our mission, and a deep understanding of environmental and ESG metrics and issues.
