Internship - Procurement ESG Compliance

"Being part of the procurement governance team gave me a firsthand look at how ethical sourcing and respect for human rights and the environment are woven into every decision - showing me that even early in your career, you can contribute to something truly meaningful!"

The internship

• Collaborate Across the Business: Interact with stakeholders at our Head Office and local Operating Companies to ensure our sustainability goals align with business value.
• Join a Supportive Team: Be part of the Procurement Governance Team within HEINEKEN Global Procurement Enablement. You’ll be coached by experienced team members and work closely with ESG and Sustainability Compliance Managers, as well as internal support partners.
• Drive Functional Compliance: Help deliver all aspects of Procurement’s compliance with sustainability regulations—ensuring risks are addressed, mitigations are in place, and reporting is clear and well-managed.
• Lead Strategic Communications: Design and execute integrated communication strategies that foster awareness, engagement, and adoption across diverse markets and cultures.

During your internship you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as a company, also outside your department. We give you trust and freedom, so you can work like a real entrepreneur. We like to bring the outside world inside and therefore we embrace new, fresh ideas with enthusiasm. Of course, always with the guidance that is right for you.
