Sustainability

Robeco is a global leader in sustainable investing since 1995. Sustainable investing is not black and white – there are shades of grey, including anomalies and even contradictions. Regulation is tightening and the data needed is becoming more plentiful and often more reliable. Robeco stands at the forefront of SI and acknowledges both its strengths and its deficiencies.

The topics require a good sense for what it means for a company to be sustainable. In order to answer research questions you will have to successfully deal with both structured and unstructured data. As with all Super Quant internships, the assignment will be supervised by an experienced empirical researcher of Robeco’s Investment Research department. Creative and analytic skills are essential in order to successfully complete the project.
