Sustainability Environmental Impacts Internship

During this working internship, you will work closely with the team lead within the sustainability team and contribute to reducing environmental impacts. An important part of your role is maintaining contact with both internal and external stakeholders involved in projects regarding CO₂ reduction and supply chain transparency. Additionally, you will conduct research into possible reduction paths and strategies that contribute to sustainability goals. You will also track data regarding the environmental impact of business operations, the product range, and production chains, after which you will analyze this information to make improvement opportunities visible. This way, you will gain a versatile view of how sustainability is concretely applied within a large organization.
