Internship – Procurement ESG Change Management
"Being part of the procurement governance team gave me a firsthand look at how ethical sourcing and respect for human rights and the environment are woven into every decision - showing me that even early in your career, you can contribute to something truly meaningful!"
The internship
- Drive Global Change: Support the deployment of a transformative global program that reinforces HEINEKEN’s commitment to responsible business practices and sustainability leadership through the adoption of a new Third-Party Risk Management Platform.
