The company


Our client, SunRice Group is an ASX-listed, global food business and one of Australia's leading branded food exporters with a reported revenue of A$1.3b.


With roots in Australia's food bowl, SunRice was formed in 1950 when a group of rice growers pooled their resources in the Riverina region of New South Wales to build a single rice mill.

Today, they have grown into one of the largest rice food companies in the world, comprising multiple businesses, assets and operations across Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, the United States, the Pacific Islands and Asia.

SunRice Group's 35+ major brands are sold in over 50 global markets and they hold leading brand positions in 14 countries.

Sustainability is a priority for SunRice and is at the core of everything they do.

Since their earliest days, they have understood that their success depends on sustaining the health of the fields and the communities in which they operate around the globe.


The role
SunRice's Sustainability commitments are across three core pillars: 'Our Environment', 'Our Communities' and 'Our Nourishing Products'.

Reporting to the Group Head of Sustainability, the newly created role of Social Sustainability Advisor will be responsible for implementing the social elements of the SunRice Sustainability Strategy and will be focussed on driving and maintaining the sustainable supply chain program, ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Australian Modern Slavery Act and delivering on SunRice's commitment to respect human rights.


Additional responsibilities include:

  • Design, develop and implement the Supplier Sustainability Program (SSP) in accordance with compliance requirements, best practice principles and industry expectations
  • Provide targeted training to the business to support the business to identify labour rights risks in operations and supply chains and make informed decisions.
  • Provide project management support for thirdparty social and ethical audits and certifications to ensure all key partners are supported to execute a successful audit.
  • Engage with business units so that they understand their commitments against the Community Investment Strategy and communicate opportunities in alignment with the Strategy.
  • Review and report on progress of business to identify progress against goals and objectives and opportunities for improvement and sharing insights.

About you

In addition, you will possess the following:

  • Tertiary qualifications in human rights, legal, sustainability, international development or equivalent.
  • 3 to 5 years' experience in sustainability, with specific experience in responsible supply chain programs and expertise relating to Australia's Modern Slavery Act.

The rewards


The organisation is listed on the ASX with majority shareholdings by active rice growers (A Class shareholders) and is continuing to accelerate its sustainability agenda, with great support from the Board.

There is licence to throw yourself into initiatives and "give things a go" in this entrepreneurial culture.
