During your internship at Albert Heijn, you will primarily work on sustainability issues, social responsibility and health. These are briefly explained below.

Sustainability is a complex subject. Albert Heijn wants to make being sustainable easy for its customers. Sustainable eating is eating with respect for people, animals and nature, without wasting food, plastic and unnecessary CO2 emissions. Together with customers, employees and suppliers, we work on concrete projects. We encourage a healthy lifestyle, less packaging, less food waste, clarity about products and everything that is better for the climate.

(Social) eating is not a given for everyone. That is why, through our 'Voor Elkaar' platform, we are committed to making the Netherlands a little better, healthier and more social. We work together with three permanent charities: Voedselbanken Nederland, the Rode Kruis and Resto VanHarte.

A healthy lifestyle is important for a good quality of life. Albert Heijn likes to help its customers on their way to making healthier choices. And we are not just talking about healthy choices in the field of nutrition, but also exercise, relaxation and sleep. Among other things, we offer our customers informative articles, videos, and even coaching to take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle. In this position, you will work 32-40 hours per week, partly from our head office in Zaandam and partly from home.
