Research

We know that Takii is contributing to the most relevant SDGs. There are different components of SDGs to name. For example: components related to poverty and hunger, but also components related to climate action and industry innovation and infrastructure. During your internship you will make concrete in which way we already contribute to these components. Takii has the ambition to develop ourselves further in the field of sustainability, but we don’t have a concrete path on how to do so. We would like you to create this path with clear sustainability goals on what to achieve and by when. And how we distinguish ourselves from competitors in terms of sustainability.
