Omar Rafael

I am a global Sustainability in Operations Manager at an Automotive company, with a strong technical background in energy engineering and sustainability. My experience spans the planning, auditing, and implementation of sustainability strategies across international sites, including in the Philippines, Singapore, and China.

I have led efforts to align operations with carbon neutrality goals, focusing on Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions. My work includes managing CO₂-emitting equipment databases, analyzing energy data, and implementing efficiency improvements. I have also overseen Building Management Systems (BMS) and led projects under ISO 50001, ensuring ongoing compliance and performance optimization.

Additionally, I developed and deployed an internal sustainability certification for office locations and defined KPIs to drive continuous improvement. I played a key role in securing LEED certification for Existing Buildings in Operation & Maintenance, coordinating all documentation and project tasks.

I hold a Master's in Energy Engineering with Industrial Management from the University of Sheffield and a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering. My certifications include European Energy Manager (EUREM) and internal auditor qualifications for ISO 50001, ISO 14001.

With strong intercultural communication skills, I excel at leading cross-functional teams in global contexts. I’m passionate about embedding sustainability into core operations and delivering measurable impact.
