Sustainability Data and Communications Intern

Who You Are: You are someone with a passion for leveraging business as a force for good. You are a systems thinker who considers both nuances and "the bigger picture." You are an independent, communication-savvy self-starter who takes initiative, but also doesn't hesitate to ask for help when needed. You are someone who has a personal or professional background in organic agriculture, consumer packaged goods, ethical production, and/or climate and packaging. You are not intimidated by spreadsheets and large amounts of data. You are curious, eager to learn, and willing to "wear different hats", as sustainability is cross-functional work. The Task At Hand: As a Public Benefit Corporation and B Corp, we are dedicated to advancing social and environmental sustainability throughout our business. This internship will be focused on internal and external sustainability communications, as well as sustainability data management and reporting related to packaging and other ESG initiatives. Effective communication is critical for a strong sustainability program. When done right, it can build credibility and loyalty among stakeholders and help drive support for a company's sustainability initiatives. This intern will craft a variety of impact communications to increase internal understanding of our sustainability initiatives, and to engage our customers and the public about our sustainability and impact work. Diligent data management is equally important, as it drives informed decision-making, helps us track progress toward strategic goals, and supports accurate reporting and regulatory compliance. This intern will support collecting and preparing data for required sustainability reporting and have opportunities to help develop and improve our internal data management systems. The core focus of this internship will be around data and communications, but you will gain exposure to the many cross-functional mechanisms of sustainability and get to support other projects related to our mission. In This Role, You Will: • Support the Sustainability Department's Overarching Strategy: o Conduct competitive analyses to inform department strategy on topics ranging from climate action plans, and ESG disclosure, to effective sustainability communications tactics and more. o Conduct desktop research as necessary on a variety of sustainability topics such as packaging policy, donation outlets in agricultural communities, cooler recycling programs, and strategies for scope 3 decarbonization. • Internal & External Communications: o Develop engaging internal multimedia education materials on foundational topics such as organic agriculture, packaging & circularity, and more. o Develop effective external-facing communications via blogs and social posts. Working with cross-functional teams to gather necessary information and execute in coordination with relevant team members. • Data Organization and Analysis: o Support the cross-functional team to establish automatic reporting capabilities. o Update all packaging & raw material data records as new information comes in. o Develop data visualizations for key initiatives. o Support with ESG and other sustainability reporting. • Other tasks as assigned: We are a fast-growing emerging brand; being flexible and willing to wear many hats is a must. • At the end of the internship, you'll be asked to share a 5–10 minute presentation on one thing you worked on during your internship here, what you learned, and how you hope to apply any learnings from your time here toward your future career.
