Job description
Why we are here
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes an impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate.
Now we are on the hunt for our new Sustainability Supply Chain Intern to join our Tony's Open Chain team in Amsterdam!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Direct, sustainable supply chain management: Understand what it means to manage a sustainable supply chain in practice. Explore the world of commodities (cocoa is fascinating!) and dive into origin sourcing
- Traceability data: Learn how to work with traceability data and digital traceability tools like our Beantracker to help us scale 100% traceable cocoa.
- Sustainability reporting, impact & audit readiness: Build a strong understanding of sustainability reporting frameworks (CSRD, ESRS, GRI), impact assessment, data collection, validation, storytelling, integrated reporting, impact accounting, and audit preparation. You’ll get hands on experience supporting the annual Tony’s Open Chain Impact Report.
- Cross‑cultural teamwork: Learn how to collaborate across cultures and continents, working with teams in Amsterdam, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana.
Here’s what you’ll do:
In the TOC Supply Chain team
- Traceability Data Management – Monitor the completeness and accuracy of all traceability data in our Beantracker. Collaborate with partners in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and our traceability specialists to reach fully traceable beans.
- Improvement Project – Analyze current ways of working, identify root causes of challenges, and cocreate improvements with teams across Amsterdam and West Africa.
- Cocoa delivery monitoring – Track monthly cocoa deliveries, analyze volume status, and share insights with Supply Chain Specialists and TOC Management to spot risks and opportunities.
- Premium payments – Support monthly invoicing of Mission Ally premiums and payouts to cooperatives, and suggest improvements to the process.
In the External Affairs & Reporting team
- Support the full development of the 2025/26 Tony’s Open Chain Impact Report: gather information, draft and edit content, coordinate reviews, work with copywriters and the Creative team, support KPI data validation, update audit documentation, and contribute to analytical publications such as the Integrated & Profit & Loss Analysis.
