The former CEO of Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), Brooke Donnelly, has been appointed as general manager, Sustainability at Coles Group, and will start in the role on 3 October.
Coles made the announcement on 19 August, a few weeks after Donnelly formally departed from APCO. The supermarket giant said that Donnelly will be tasked with leading and empowering the Coles teams to deliver on the company's ambition to become Australia’s most sustainable supermarket.
"Brooke will work to embed Coles’ Sustainability Strategy, under our “Together to Zero” and “Better Together” pillars and help Coles support the implementation of circular economy activities across our supply chain and deliver on our ambitious sustainability goals," Coles said.
Donnelly, who joins Coles with over 25 years' experience in the fields of recycling, sustainability and circular economy transformation, said, "I'm excited to be joining the great team at Coles Group and very much looking forward to delivering tangible, at scale circular economy impact."
