Compliance and Sustainability Intern (Sustainability Focus)

June – August 2026

Project Name: Arclin Project ESG Quantification

Problem Statement (Sustainability Focus)

Arclin has implemented multiple projects with meaningful Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impacts over the past several years; however, these contributions have not been consistently quantified or communicated. The absence of standardized methods for assessing carbon footprint reductions, waste minimization, and other ESG‑related benefits limits visibility to internal stakeholders and external rating bodies. This lack of harmonization also hinders Engineering, R&T, and site teams from evaluating sustainability impacts using a consistent, repeatable framework—creating the risk of underreporting progress and missing opportunities to improve ESG performance.

Deliverables

• Project Identification & Review:
  Conduct a comprehensive review of historic ESG‑relevant initiatives across Arclin’s facilities and business units.
• Standardized Sustainability Evaluation Framework:
  Establish clear guidance and standardized procedures (SOP/checklist) for future ESG project assessments, increasing consistency and accuracy.
• Quantification of ESG Impacts:
  Assess enterprise‑level environmental outcomes of selected projects, with primary emphasis on carbon footprint reduction, energy efficiency improvements, and waste‑minimization outcomes.
• Checklist / SOP for ESG Impact Evaluation:
  Develop a standardized tool and corresponding procedure that guides teams on how to evaluate future sustainability projects, ensuring consistent and auditable ESG impact assessments.
