Internship: Delivering on ESG Commitments (non-thesis)

Join Philips to drive decarbonization and strengthen climate resilience amid rising extreme weather. You’ll support our carbon neutrality goals by enhancing project management, climate risk assessments, EcoDesign innovation, and carbon pricing strategies—helping us deliver meaningful health innovations responsibly while limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the ESG reporting team members to define the CSRD/ESRS reporting requirements and include these in our Annual Report 2025. Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the CSRD/ESRS.
• Assist in adhering to external reporting requirements. Actively engage in disclosure efforts by gathering essential information from internal stakeholders and contributing to various reports.
• Work with the ESG reporting tool (Workiva) to create the content for the Annual Report 2025.

Skills & Experience

To succeed in this role, you should have the following skills and experience:

• Degree in a relevant field such as Business Administration, Environment, Policy, Sustainability, Innovation and Strategy, or similar.
• Passionate and knowledgeable about sustainability. Knowledge of the GHG protocol and other major disclosure frameworks is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on attitude and fast learner. Climate disclosures are continuously evolving, so you must embrace a constant state of flux and be intrinsically motivated to learn something new every day, independently staying on top of the latest developments.
• Able to translate sustainability-specific information into engaging reports and presentations that can be easily communicated to internal and external stakeholders.
• Self-starter with the ability to drive actions independently while keeping the overarching goal in mind. The topic of climate action is extremely broad, so it is important that every action remains goal-oriented.
• Strong project management skills: able to successfully manage multiple tasks through to completion.
• Strong interpersonal skills; a natural connector and collaborator within the organization and across various stakeholder groups.
• Excellent English verbal and written skills.
• Excellent analytical skills, including proficiency in MS Office (especially Excel and Power Query skills, which will be beneficial for this internship).
