Internship: ESG/CSRD Reporting (HR, non-thesis)

Within Philips’ Enterprise People Strategy team, we are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented intern to support the delivery of our ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting and compliance agenda within the People Function.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, data, and compliance, supporting the coordination and execution of key ESG deliverables—including CSRD reporting, annual report development, and ongoing regulatory requirements. You will work closely with the ESG Lead for the People Function and collaborate across multiple teams to ensure high-quality, timely, and compliant reporting.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in ESG reporting in a complex, global organization, contributing to Philips’ ambition to be a responsible employer and leader in social impact.

About the role

As ESG Reporting & Compliance Intern, you will support the end-to-end reporting cycle for People-related ESG metrics—from data collection and validation during hard close processes through to annual report preparation.

You will play both a coordination and execution role—helping to connect stakeholders, track deliverables, and ensure data quality, while also contributing directly to the collection and consolidation of key ESG metrics.

Working closely with the ESG Lead, you will gain exposure to senior stakeholders, regulatory frameworks (e.g. CSRD), and the internal governance required to deliver compliant, audit-ready disclosures.

Your role:

ESG Reporting & CSRD Coordination

• Support the coordination of People-related ESG metrics across the reporting cycle, including hard close processes and year-end reporting
• Help track timelines, deliverables, and dependencies to ensure timely and complete submissions
• Assist in aligning inputs from multiple stakeholders (e.g. People teams, Sustainability, and external auditors)

Data Collection & Validation

• Support the collection, consolidation, and validation of ESG data, including manual metrics requiring input from different teams
• Work with stakeholders (e.g. PPS, People Analytics, Rewards, etc.) to gather required data and ensure accuracy and completeness
• Perform quality checks and support documentation to ensure audit-readiness

Annual Report & Disclosure Support

• Contribute to the preparation of People-related ESG disclosures for the Annual Report
• Support drafting, consolidation, and consistency checks across reporting outputs
• Help ensure alignment between internal data, narratives, and external disclosures

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally with teams across the People Function and beyond
• Support communication and follow-ups to ensure smooth collaboration and timely inputs
• Contribute to continuous improvement of reporting processes and ways of working

Operational & Project Support

• Support ad hoc ESG reporting or compliance activities as required
• Assist in maintaining documentation, trackers, and process overviews
• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, or automate reporting activities where possible

You’re the right fit if

• You are currently pursuing a Bachelor or Master degree in Business, Economics, Sustainability, HR, Data Analytics, or a related field
• You have a strong interest in ESG, sustainability, or corporate reporting
• You are highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with data
• You are organized and able to manage multiple stakeholders and deadlines
• You are proactive, eager to learn, and comfortable working in a dynamic, international environment
• You have strong communication skills and enjoy working collaboratively

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

Monthly full-time allowance between €500 - €700 gross, depending on your education level. If you need to relocate to The Netherlands specifically for the internship there will be a different allowance. Part-time internships receive the allowance pro-rata.

Housing compensation, in case of relocating to the vicinity of the office, €300,- net if location is in the vicinity of Amsterdam, €255,- net for all other Philips locations. To be eligible, your usual home-work travel distance needs to be more than 50 km or 1.5 hours of travel time (one way). Afterwards, you need to provide the rental contract from your (new) landlord.

Travel compensation, if you are not eligible for a free public transport (OV chipkaart - student travel product); you can receive max. €192,- net depending on your location. Paid holidays per internship term.
