Do you want to help entrepreneurs do business responsibly abroad? And are you looking for a fun and challenging internship starting in August/September 2023? An internship in which on the one hand you point out possible problems in the supply chain to companies, but in which you also write about solutions? Then you might be the new intern for the CSR Risk Checker at MVO Netherlands.

Especially with more and more legislation coming in, there is a lot coming at companies. It is therefore important that companies are well prepared. MVO Nederland has developed the MVO Risico Checker, a website that provides a free overview of important CSR risks and recommendations for your product and country of operation. Is there child labor there? How do you affect the availability of drinking water near a production site? Are there conflicts? As an intern, one of your main tasks is to make those CSR risks transparent to companies as a basis for making their international supply chains more sustainable. Do the check yourself To experience the CSR Risk Checker.
