The internship

Are you passionate about sustainability and eager to make a real impact in a global procurement environment?

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.

What you’ll do:

• 🚀 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.
• 📊 Support Audit Activities: Collaborate with internal stakeholders to gather and analyse data that supports our sustainability audits and Procurement KPIs.
• 🔍 Work with Sustainability Data: Dive into data analysis to uncover insights and help us tell a compelling sustainability story.
• 💡 Innovate & Engage: Research fresh, engaging, and innovative ways to improve our compliance processes, including communication and stakeholder engagement.
• 🧪 Enhance Our Tools: Support the development of our sustainability reporting application by testing new features and providing feedback to the product owner.
• 🤝 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.

During your internship you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as a company, also outside your department. We give you the 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.
