Internship: CO2 reductions in AO’s value chain

Are you passionate about the green transition and eager to turn your academic knowledge into tangible results?
Join Brødrene A&O Johansen (AO) as an intern and help shape our roadmap for reducing CO2 emissions across our value chain. With us, you will gain hands-on experience and play a key role in our sustainability journey.

About AO
Brødrene A&O Johansen A/S is a well-established, publicly listed company with over 100 years of history and 900 employees. We are a knowledge-driven IT and logistics company, as well as one of Denmark's leading wholesalers of plumbing, electrical supplies, tools, drainage systems, and other products for the construction and trade industries.

At AO, we are committed to reducing climate and environmental impacts for ourselves, our customers, and our suppliers. As part of our strategic transformation, we are intensifying efforts to achieve ambitious CO2 reduction goals—and we are looking for talented individuals like you to help us get there.

Purpose of the CO2-reduction project
As an intern, you will play a critical role in developing a detailed and actionable roadmap for reducing CO2 emissions within AO’s Scope 3 value chain. This roadmap will align with AO’s commitments under the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and provide clear steps to achieve our sustainability targets.

Key responsibilities
Your work will include a variety of tasks, such as:

• Conducting a detailed analysis of AO’s current CO2 reduction initiatives to identify gaps and opportunities.
• Utilizing supplier-provided LCA data to pinpoint emissions hotspots.
• Designing an implementable CO2 reduction strategy tailored to AO’s role as a wholesaler.
• Developing documentation and reporting tools to track progress and ensure transparency in achieving reduction targets.

Your work will contribute to existing projects, but there is also room to adapt the project to match your personal interests. We want to ensure that your internship helps you grow both academically and personally. Therefore, we will work with you to define the most suitable scope for your internship.
