In this internship, you support our sustainability team during the verification phase of our B Corp recertification: the stage where B Lab, the organisation behind B Corp, reviews our assessment and asks for extra evidence. You also help put our sustainability strategy into practice. You report to our Sustainability Lead and work with colleagues across departments and with external suppliers. We’re a small team, so you get real responsibility and hands-on experience.

What you’ll do

• B Corp recertification: gather, prepare and submit the evidence B Lab asks for during verification.
• Laws and standards: assess what the EU rules on green claims (ECGT, the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition directive) and other sustainability laws mean for us, spot gaps and propose improvements.
• Sustainability data: collect, structure and check data from our teams and suppliers, enter it in ROOT (our online tool for impact calculations) and analyse our impact.
• Reporting: help draft and review sustainability documents, including a new version of our Sustainability Impact Report.
• Sharing knowledge: work with other departments to keep sustainability information consistent, and support workshops, training sessions or internal updates.

Key competencies

• You’re currently enrolled in a bachelor’s programme (hbo or wo).
• Good written and spoken English.
• Analytical skills: you can work with data and complex requirements.
• No work experience needed. This is an internship.

What you bring

• You’re curious about sustainability laws, corporate responsibility and compliance.
• You work carefully and keep an eye on the details.
• You enjoy taking initiative and bringing structure to your work, also when you work on your own.
• You like turning complex requirements into practical next steps.

Nice to have

• A study in environmental science, sustainability, environmental law or a related field.
• Dutch.
• An interest in digital tools, data analysis and AI tools such as Claude.

• Real responsibility, with direct involvement in our B Corp verification and our sustainability strategy.
