• Do you like to contribute to product innovation and learn more about text and data mining?

Look no more! This is exactly what we do here: assess and rate the companies’ performance on environment, social and governance. We have our own methodology with a dedicated rating system and our research contributes to different industry reports, ratings, screenings and engagement tools that give responsible investors the information they need to make long-term investment decisions. In doing so, we cooperate with colleagues in Sustainalytics’ global offices. Our challenges also include contribution to the development of intellectual capital and thought leadership reports. Additionally, you’ll have a coach who will guide you throughout the entire internship and will provide all the insights you need. Our interns are also a pool of candidates for any jobs that will arise during this period and have real chances of staying with us permanently.
