Praktikum im Bereich Corporate Responsibility | Materials & Circularity (w/m/d)

In the Otto Group Holding teams, we successfully manage 30 key business groups and develop the Otto Group strategy on a daily basis. Drive ahead with us the future of a digitally driven trading and service group – from Asia to North America, from the logistics provider to the Company Builder – and experience the innovative strength of our group. You can always be yourself.

Diversity belongs to us, like the Elbe to Hamburg: We stand for openness, respect and tolerance, without If and But. Let's put the sails together – regardless of where you come from, who you love or what you believe in. Because you're unique and that's what we're looking for.

With us, you get the freedom to extinct yourself and develop your own ideas. In an environment where people, society and the environment are important. We'll deal with each other in an esteeming way: Our basic values are based on trust, fairness and transparency. In our team we work hand in hand to specify the direction, develop goals and implement measures. Together we create the basis for sustainable success. The terms Circularity, Circular Economy, Sustainability Management, Sustainability, Corporate Responsibility (CR), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and ESG are not empty word sleeves with us, but are filled with life. In the field of corporate responsibility, we focus on materials and circulatory skills. Our goal is to develop strategies and solutions for the extensive use of sustainable materials in the Otto Group – in particular in the fields of textiles, furniture and packaging. We also rely on different circularity approaches. Many speak of “Homeoffice” – we of “hybrid or mobile work”: You can work remotely up to 50% of your monthly working hours. Our teams, together with their leadership, decide how to balance out local time and mobile work.

With us, you shape the further development of the material and circularity theme within the CR strategy. As part of the team, you work on various projects. The topics range from optimization processes in waste management, sustainable products, materials and packaging to Circularity projects. You work independently in the daily business and in the project work. You will get deep insights into the area of sustainable materials, their protection and engagement. You gain experience in working with internal and external stakeholders and are actively involved in these appointments. This gives you an insight into the structures of a large company. You will gain insights into other areas of sustainability management at the Otto Group.

You like to work in the team and independently, are committed and think analytic and strategic.
