- Planning and documenting company engagement dialogues (letters, calls, meetings);
- Monitoring and reporting progress of these dialogues in our database;
- Contributing to our increasing reporting work to clients.
You will get a good understanding of what responsible investing is all about, how expanding in-house ESG expertise works, and how the three areas of our Responsible Investment framework complement each other. In this role, you will get a chance to contribute to the impact of Aegon investments and their support to a transition to a more sustainable world. You may also get opportunities to work internally with specialists, and externally with portfolio companies and RI industry peers.
The particular focus of your traineeship will depend on the current team workload as well as your personal interest.
