Strengthening the sustainability profile of the Accessories BU in line with Nexans’ ESG roadmap and customer expectations.

- Assist engineers and product line managers in registering and maintaining technical documentation (drawings, specifications, test reports, approvals, certificates…) in PLM and related repositories.

- Support responses to customer sustainability requests (questionnaires, documentation, CO₂/footprint data) in coordination with Sales, Product Line Management and Quality.
- Monitor and flag changes in product design or process that may impact environmental declarations and therefore require updates.
Data analysis, reporting and continuous improvement
