Sustainability Intern, Group Sustainability ESG Integration (m/f/d)* in Muenchen, Deutschland

Munich Re`s Group Sustainability Department shapes the ESG strategy for the entire Munich Re Group and advises the ESG Committee of the Board of Management on strategic sustainability topics. The department oversees ESG governance across the Group, sustainability performance in own operations and the integration of ESG criteria into (re)insurance and investments.

In close collaboration with stakeholders across business units and global locations, we develop and implement ESG approaches, assess emerging sustainability topics and support the integration of ESG considerations into business processes and decision-making. We position Munich Re strategically on ESG topics, engaging in discussions with internal stakeholders (e.g., ESG Committee) and external partners (e.g., clients, industry associations, ESG rating agencies, NGOs).

We are looking for an intern with a strong interest in ESG topics, good analytical and project management skills and, ideally, initial experience in the financial or (re)insurance sector.
