Your job

As an intern you will help conduct ESG risk assessments for companies across a broad array of sectors, from small enterprises to multi-billion dollar companies. You will learn to apply knowledge you’ve built throughout your studies and will discover new sustainability issues you never thought of before. You will gain experience in assessing companies and projects through the lens of international frameworks and standards.

Your working environment

The banking sector is situated in a unique position to help build a more sustainable economy: every company needs finance. The Sustainability Risk team applies the bank's sustainability policies and requirements to the bank’s corporate clients, and looks for ways to connect risks to opportunities to accelerate their sustainability shift. This can be done through financing sustainable initiatives and transitions and through client dialogues. The assessments of the Sustainability Risk team span the entire ESG spectrum: from greenhouse gas emissions and water management to human rights, labor rights and even animal rights. The team works closely together with many stakeholders both inside and outside ABN AMRO.
