Internship - Global Procurement ESG Regulatory Compliance

As a Global Procurement ESG Regulatory Compliance Intern, you will support the Global Procurement ESG regulatory compliance agenda within HEINEKEN. You will work closely with the Procurement ESG Regulatory Compliance Managers and help shape how we respond to the fast-evolving landscape of sustainability regulations—like CSRD, EUDR, and CSDDD—with confidence and clarity.

At HEINEKEN, Procurement owns the Scope 3 agenda, playing a pivotal role in driving carbon footprint reporting and ensuring our supply chain aligns with our sustainability ambitions. Every year, our efforts contribute to HEINEKEN’s Annual Report, showcasing our progress and commitment to responsible business conduct.

During your internship, you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as an organization, not just within your own team, but across departments. We trust and empower you to work with an entrepreneurial mindset. At HEINEKEN, we love bringing the outside world in and welcome fresh, new ideas with open arms. Of course, we’ll make sure you get the guidance that suits you.

• Support documentation, record-keeping, and audit-readiness activities.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying trends, gaps, or insights in EU regulatory compliance data (CSRD, EUDR, CSDDD).
