Carolina Capelo
@carolinadrferreira
I thrive around environmental strategies, packaging sustainability programs, and reporting systems across retail and waste management.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently managing packaging-related environmental topics at Auchan Retail Portugal and contributing to the DRS implementation team.
Previously at DIA Portugal Supermercados, I helped define the environmental strategy, consolidated sustainability and environmental KPIs, and implemented procedures. At NTT DATA Portugal, I supported the corporate sustainability strategy, business teams, and the Environmental Management System.
My work at ERP Portugal / Novo Verde included national and international projects, audits, waste-management activities, procurement, contract awards, complaints, and reporting. I also deliver sustainability training and have spoken on sustainable festival planning and waste topics.
