OUR PEOPLE - EMILY BRENNAN

Could you describe your career path and current position at Bureau Veritas UK?

I have worked in Marketing for nearly 20 years, ranging from small to multinational companies across several sectors. Starting at a small graduate recruitment company as a marketing executive, moved into project management at a large steel company and then spent 13 years at Veolia, where I worked across several different business units, then moved into a European marketing role focused on industrial water treatment for heavy industry. I have just celebrated my 1st anniversary at Bureau Veritas as a Marketing Business Partner for Greenline Services.

Why did you choose to join Bureau Veritas?

Bureau Veritas has a deep sustainability focus, making the world a better place which aligns with my ambitions. I wanted to work for a company where I can make a difference. I am responsible for the Greenline services at Bureau Veritas, geared toward improving our clients' environmental and social performance. It’s a great area to be involved within.

In your day-to-day work, how do you contribute to Shaping a World of Trust?

My world is all about Sustainability. I work on campaigns around renewable energy transition, including solar and wind, reducing carbon footprint, and improving transparent and credible sustainability reporting. I am constantly learning as Bureau Veritas has a depth of sustainability services and expertise across the business, which is exciting.

What do you enjoy most about your role in the Marketing team?

Marketing is ultimately all about problem-solving, understanding the customer needs and how your products or services answer their requirements. I have enjoyed the variety of topics and marketing approaches during my career, but the best thing has always been learning from my colleagues and developing working relationships. 

What is your highlight while working at Bureau Veritas?

A highlight for me is working closely with my marketing colleagues and other people across the business and the world.
