There is a shared belief amongst the stakeholders in our organization that a more focused and strategic approach towards compliance will be a competitive edge for Elopak. Furthermore, the aim is to have an organizational culture where continuously developing and practicing compliance is a genuine desire throughout our organization, i.e., execution of compliance should not be driven merely by necessity. CCO will be an important contributor in this work. 

ABOUT THE POSITION

In close collaboration with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Global leadership Team and the entire Elopak organization, the position holder shall embed a compliance culture, moving from compliance to motivation and to a work of not only the CCO but of the whole organization.
