OatlyESG & Sustainability Jobs

Oatly is the original oat drink company, promoting dairy-free alternatives with a playful approach to sustainability and deliciousness.

Oatly produces oat drinks, cooking products, and oat-based foods sold through retailers and food service globally. The company started in Sweden and has grown into one of the most recognized plant-based dairy alternatives on the market.

Why it matters

Oatly positions itself as a climate solutions company, with its core argument being that oat-based products carry a significantly lower carbon and land footprint than conventional dairy. The company publishes product-level climate footprint data and an annual sustainability update, making its environmental claims more transparent than most food brands. The logic is direct: shifting protein and fat consumption from animal to plant sources reduces agricultural emissions, and oat drinks are among the more accessible ways for consumers to make that shift.

Oatly operates production facilities across Europe, the US, and Asia. Roles like Environmental Health and Safety Specialist reflect the operational side of scaling a food manufacturing business while managing its environmental and worker safety obligations at the plant level.
