Job Description:
Compliance and Sustainability Intern ( Sustainability Focus)
June – August 2026 Project Name: Arclin Project ESG Quantification
Problem Statement (Sustainability Focus) Arclin has implemented
multiple projects with meaningful Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) impacts over the past several years; however,
these contributions have not been consistently quantified or
communicated. The absence of standardized methods for assessing
carbon footprint reductions, waste minimization, and other
ESGâ??related benefits limits visibility to internal stakeholders
and external rating bodies. This lack of harmonization also hinders
Engineering, R&T, and site teams from evaluating sustainability
impacts using a consistent, repeatable framework—creating the risk
of underreporting progress and missing opportunities to improve ESG
performance. Deliverables Project Identification & Review: Conduct
a comprehensive review of historic ESGâ??relevant initiatives
across Arclin’s facilities and business units. Standardized
Sustainability Evaluation Framework: Establish clear guidance and
standardized procedures (SOP/checklist) for future ESG project
assessments, increasing consistency and accuracy. Quantification of
ESG Impacts: Assess enterpriseâ??level environmental outcomes of
selected projects, with primary emphasis on carbon footprint
reduction , energy efficiency improvements, and
wasteâ??minimization outcomes. Checklist / SOP for ESG Impact
Evaluation: Develop a standardized tool and corresponding procedure
that guides teams on how to evaluate future sustainability
projects, ensuring consistent and auditable ESG impact assessments.
