This internship puts you at the heart of Club Med’s regulatory transition, supporting the rollout of its first sustainability report under the CSRD directive. You’ll be responsible for collecting, consolidating, and analyzing ESG data from various internal contributors, while actively helping draft and update the group’s extra-financial performance tracking tools.

This role matters because it turns raw data into a strategic lever for driving the company’s environmental and social commitments. By working on the Scale up Happy to Care project, you directly contribute to embedding sustainability into the customer and operational experience of nearly 70 resorts worldwide, ensuring transparency and setting the standard for the all-inclusive vacation leader.

This suits someone who is a final-year student, rigorous and analytical, looking to master ESRS standards within a stimulating, multicultural, international environment.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The intern will play a central role in transitioning to the CSRD framework by mapping data gaps and coordinating with internal stakeholders to collect ESG metrics. You will be responsible for ensuring data consistency, performing gap analyses, and contributing to the actual drafting of the sustainability report. Beyond technical reporting, you will support operational CSR initiatives. This involves helping to coordinate the Scale up Happy to Care project, creating awareness materials for employees, and monitoring industry benchmarks to keep the group's strategy competitive and innovative.

Key learning opportunities for this job

This position offers a deep dive into the new European ESRS standards, providing hands-on experience that is currently high in demand across all industries. You will learn how to structure a professional sustainability report from scratch within a complex, multi-site international organization. Additionally, you will develop strong project management skills by interacting with various departments such as finance, HR, and operations. Exposure to extra-financial auditing processes and external ESG questionnaires will broaden your understanding of how corporate reputation is measured today.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The ideal profile is a Master-level student from a business or engineering school with a specialized focus on Corporate Social Responsibility. Technical proficiency in Excel is non-negotiable, as you will be handling large datasets and performing consistency checks regularly. Strong writing skills in both French and English are essential for drafting report sections and communication materials. We look for a rigorous and autonomous individual who can navigate deadlines and interact professionally with diverse teams across different time zones.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

To stand out, demonstrate a clear understanding of the CSRD and ESRS requirements in your cover letter. Mentioning specific challenges related to the hospitality industry, such as waste management or local community impact, will show you have researched the sector's specificities. Highlight any previous experience where you had to manage data or coordinate stakeholders. Since Club Med values the 'Gentle Organizer' spirit, emphasize your ability to be proactive, adaptable, and a team player in a multicultural environment.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role focuses heavily on transparency and compliance, specifically aligning the company's reporting with the new European regulations. This covers environmental performance across resorts, social responsibility toward employees, and governance structures. There is also a strong emphasis on sustainable tourism operations. Through the Happy to Care program, the role supports initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of vacation villages and enhancing the positive social impact on host destinations.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

One of the primary challenges will be the coordination of data collection across a decentralized global network. Motivating internal contributors who have other operational priorities can require persistence and excellent interpersonal skills. The technical complexity of the first CSRD report is another hurdle. You will need to maintain high levels of accuracy while learning a new regulatory language and ensuring that all indicators meet strict audit-ready standards.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A typical day might begin with a status meeting on data collection, followed by deep-diving into Excel to analyze environmental metrics from specific resorts. You might then spend the afternoon drafting a summary for the sustainability report or designing a presentation for a COPIL meeting. You will also likely participate in cross-functional workshops to discuss project milestones for 'Happy to Care.' The day is a mix of solitary analytical work and collaborative communication tasks to keep CSR initiatives moving forward.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

This internship serves as a high-level entry point into the world of corporate ESG. Successful interns often find themselves well-positioned for junior consultant roles or in-house sustainability coordinator positions due to their rare expertise in CSRD. For those staying within the hospitality sector, this role provides the strategic overview necessary to move into operational sustainability management or ESG auditing roles in the future.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

You will interact daily with the CSR Team and the various 'data owners' in departments like Finance, Human Resources, and Technical Services. These relationships are key to gathering the information needed for reporting. Externally, you may interact with auditors or ESG rating agencies when submitting data. Internally, you will also communicate with resort teams and project managers to support the rollout of site-specific sustainability goals.
