Internship, Global Sustainability team

Why we are here  

Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not the other way around. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate.   

Now we are on the hunt for our new Sustainability intern to join our team in Amsterdam! This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on sustainability experience in a growing impact-company, all while making a significant positive impact in the world of cocoa. As you might know, we do things a little different around here. Our financial year ends in September and starts in October. During this internship you'll be able to contribute to a very hands-on period where we make sure our impact measurements are accounted for. Together with the team, you'll collect the data and prepare this for our annual PwC audit starting in October.

Here’s what you’ll do: 

• Support Tony’s annual sustainability reporting cycle. Collect data and evidence, organize documentation and help bring structure to the audit preparation process, run quality checks and contribute to narratives.
