Global Sustainability Intern Quality Management

Join us as a Global Sustainability Intern at our International Headquarters in Amsterdam, starting September 2025.
In this internship, you will support our work championing Regenerative Agriculture and Nature 🌿, as well as further refine our Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence processes. All of this will be done through hands-on support and by contributing to our sustainability information & knowledge management system.

Your key activities will be:

• Conducting research and analysis to evaluate potential environmental and social risks and impacts associated with our company’s activities, products, and suppliers.
• Supporting the rollout of our Monitoring & Evaluation processes to collect and report on key performance indicators related to our nature and people goals.
• Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to obtain insights on human rights and sustainability performance throughout the supply chain, and effectively communicating your findings.
• Participating in the development and implementation of training programs and awareness campaigns to educate employees, suppliers, and partners about sustainability topics.
• Supporting the preparation of sustainability reports, disclosures, and submissions for both internal and external audiences.
• Assisting with the rollout of our Human Rights & Environmental Due Diligence Programme.
• Collaborating on the creation of an information and knowledge management system to support our sustainability initiatives.

What’s in it for you?

• A monthly internship allowance of €525 (full-time)
• Travel compensation if you don’t have a free public transport card 🚆
• Paid holidays for each internship term
• The chance to learn from some of the best sustainability professionals in the field
• Backed by a strong 4.5 Glassdoor rating and a 94% intern recommendation score 🌟, we’re committed to offering you a unique learning journey. As part of our Global Sustainability team, you’ll gain valuable insights into corporate sustainability processes in a global context, and develop a deeper understanding of social and environmental due diligence in a publicly listed organization.
