Posted on 04 August 2025

Background

Garrett Motion, a global automotive technology company operating across 22 countries, needed immediate senior expertise to lead its environmental compliance and sustainability strategy.

The Solution

Irwin and Colton’s Contract and Interim team acted quickly to engage with stakeholders, understand the brief, and deploy a proven environmental and ESG expert into the role of Interim Global Environmental Leader.

Within a short time frame, they were in place and delivering against key priorities:

  2. ESG Reporting: Led CDP, Ecovadis and GRI reporting, strengthening transparency and investor confidence.

  3. Cross-functional Engagement: Worked with procurement, legal and operations to embed sustainability into decision-making.

The Results
