The Company Network team engages with the 50+ members of the Ceres Company Network to help them develop sustainable business strategies that address key challenges such as climate change, water scarcity and pollution, and human rights abuses throughout the value chain. Ceres’ advocacy is rooted in the expectations for corporate sustainability outlined in The 21st Century Corporation: The Ceres Roadmap for Sustainability . These expectations address four critical dimensions of a company’s approach to sustainability: governance, stakeholder engagement, disclosure, and performance as it relates to company operations, supply chains and products. The Company Network seeks an intern who will support our corporate engagement work by:
Using publicly available information to research and analyze the sustainability performance of individual companies and sectors through the lens of the Ceres Roadmap expectations;
Providing in-depth research support for ad hoc projects on key topics such as the link between sustainability performance and executive compensation, sustainable supply chains, or modes of stakeholder engagement;
Researching, compiling and presenting industry trends and leading practices for use by team members when engaging with company members and companies outside the membership network;

We are looking for candidates with solid research skills (preferably with experience reviewing corporate sustainability performance), an ability to work independently, excellent verbal and written communication skills and familiarity with key environmental and social sustainability issues that influence, and are influenced by, the private sector. Graduate students preferred, but all will be considered.

Primary responsibilities involve research, writing, and, at times, interacting with the investment community. The Ceres Investor Network on Climate Risk and Sustainability includes the largest public pension funds in the U.S., socially responsible/ESG investment funds, and the nation's leading social, religious and labor shareholder activists. We help these investors use their voice as owners of company stock to encourage companies to reduce risks and seize opportunities related to key environmental issues.

TRANSPORTATION INTERN (IN BOSTON OFFICE)
The Ceres Transportation Team intern will work directly with both the Senior Director of Transportation and the Senior Manager of Clean Vehicles at Ceres.
A clean and efficient transportation system is critical to a strong U.S. economy, with benefits including saving consumers and businesses money as well as reducing our dependence on oil. Transportation is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) and other criteria air pollutant emissions. In fact, in 2016, the transportation sector surpassed the electric power sector as the largest emitter of GHG emissions in the United States, accounting for 28% of GHG emissions – more emissions than any other nation's entire economy, with the exception of China.
To reduce harmful emissions coming out of the U.S. transportation sector and improve air quality and human health, we must focus on three components: vehicles, fuels and infrastructure. In 2019, the Ceres Transportation Program's primary focus is to:
Advocate for clean transportation policies, including clean vehicle and fuels policies,
Accelerate corporate uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) and associated EV infrastructure; and
Encourage market growth of EVs and infrastructure.
Fall 2019 internship projects will include advocating for Low Carbon Fuel Standards, supporting strong passenger vehicle and truck fuel economy standards, and promoting low- to zero-emission vehicles. In addition, this position will support the development and maintenance of EV market tracking systems and assist with preparation of materials for corporate engagements on transportation electrification. This intern will be asked to perform research on various transportation issues, draft supporting resources and perform some administrative tasks. Please refer to the Ceres Transportation Initiative page for additional information. Graduate students preferred, but all will be considered.
EVALUATION & IMPACT INTERN (IN BOSTON OFFICE)
The Innovation and Evaluation Team works to scale the impact of Ceres work by measuring and evaluating progress towards achieving programmatic objectives, as well as supporting the incubation and vetting of new project ideas. This includes working to strengthen the planning, evaluation and asset management functions within the organization that need to be implemented to effectively achieve Ceres’ mission. The Ceres Innovation & Evaluation department would like to bring on an intern to help us work through a significant backlog of data entry from various teams, multi-year impact case studies, discrete innovation projects, and support the work of the Sustainable Capital Markets Accelerator as needs may arise. Specific tasks are outlined below:
Research and document Ceres impact related to Corporate and Investor sustainability commitments and actions:
Utilizing internal resources, including grant proposals, reports and press releases, research and compile multi-year data on corporate and investor actions on clean-energy, water, and capital markets.
Perform analysis on company actions, specifically related to Ceres engagement over a defined time horizon
Conduct research and fact-checking to contribute to the development and prioritization of targets for corporate and investor engagement in the coming year

It is helpful for candidates to have skills in research, strong writing and verbal communication, confidence with spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets), time management, and familiarity with customer relations databases (such as Salesforce) helpful but not required.
STATE POLICY INTERN (IN BOSTON OFFICE)

This position will support the State Policy Team primarily through research and writing projects focused on:
key state climate, clean energy and transportation policies, as well as
the key actors and decision makers in our priority states.
Work will also include participation and note-taking in strategy meetings, legislative analysis, and other tasks, including data collection and organization. We are looking for candidates with strong organizational, research, and writing skills, an ability to work independently, and some familiarity with environmental and sustainability policies.

The companies include 100 ‘systemically important emitters’, accounting for two-thirds of annual global industrial emissions, alongside more than 60 others with significant opportunity to drive the clean energy transition. Ceres helps drive this initiative by supporting investors in collaborative shareholder engagements and improvements in their stewardship practices.
Working with members of Ceres' Investor Network team based in San Francisco, this intern will help advance our work by conducting research on climate risk in various sectors and collecting information on company and investor actions in order to curate an informational webinar series for CA100+ signatories. The role will also include some administrative support for the webinar series, finding dates, preparing presentations and some contact management.
The ideal candidate will be interested in climate and energy topics and have a focus in one or more of the following areas: climate policy, financial markets, corporate sustainability, communications, and/or investment stewardship.

We are seeking talented individuals who are eager to assist disaster survivors on an intermittent, on-call basis . FEMA Reservists are incident management responders, hired under the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

The Coordinator spearheads the program and policy work of the BlueGreen Alliance in Colorado. The Coordinator identifies and works to implement projects around the state that will help build the clean energy economy, reduce emissions, create quality, family-sustaining jobs, and promote shared, sustainable prosperity programs. The Coordinator will also develop programs to educate and mobilize members to action; build long-term alliances to promote smart energy solutions; and work with union, environmental, and community partners to effectively support mutually agreed-upon policies. The Coordinator’s role is to organize, focus, and drive these collective efforts.
The Colorado Coordinator works closely with BGA staff, the Colorado-based BlueGreen Alliance steering committee, and Colorado BGA member organizations to develop and execute initiatives, campaigns and policy/legislative strategy. While principally focused on the state level, the Colorado BGA may also support federal clean energy initiatives. The Coordinator reports to the Colorado-based BGA steering committee and BGA’s West Coast Director.
