Internship - Global Procurement ESG Regulatory Compliance

Location: Schiphol, The Netherlands
Duration: 6 months (full‑time, 4 days/week possible in consultation)
Department: HEINEKEN Global Procurement Enablement- Governance

The Internship

As a Global Procurement ESG Regulatory Compliance Intern you will support the Global Procurement ESG regulatory compliance agenda within HEINEKEN. You will work closely with the Procurement ESG Regulatory Compliance Managers and help shape how we respond to the fast-evolving landscape of sustainability regulations—like CSRD, EUDR, and CSDDD—with confidence and clarity.

At HEINEKEN, Procurement owns the Scope 3 agenda, playing a pivotal role in driving carbon footprint reporting and ensuring our supply chain aligns with our sustainability ambitions. Every year, our efforts contribute to HEINEKEN’s Annual Report, showcasing our progress and commitment to responsible business conduct.

During your internship you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as a company, also outside your department. We give you the trust and freedom, so you can work like a real entrepreneur. We like to bring the outside world inside and therefore we embrace new, fresh ideas with enthusiasm. Of course, always with the guidance that is right for you.

Your Responsibilities

• Support quarterly procurement reporting and data accuracy.
• Support in implementing the HEINEKEN Business Partner Policy, including driving communications to all stakeholders.
• Drive the Key Strategic Procurement Initiative with the Operating companies and track their progress
• Assist with obtaining all relevant data relating to CSRD KPI’s, including tracking, coordination, and follow‑ups with Operating Companies.
• Support documentation, record‑keeping, and audit‑readiness activities.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying trends, gaps, or insights in EU regulatory compliance data (CSRD, EUDR, CSDDD).

Your New Team and Responsibilities

Within Global Procurement Enablement, we ensure HEINEKEN Global Procurement teams can do what they do best: build strong supplier relationships, ensure policy compliance, and deliver business value. The Governance team plays a key role in driving responsible sourcing, risk management, and global standards.
During your internship, you’ll have every opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as an organization, not just within your own team, but across departments. We trust and empower you to work with an entrepreneurial mindset. At HEINEKEN, we love bringing the outside world in and welcome fresh, new ideas with open arms. Of course, we’ll make sure you get the guidance that suits you.
