Sustainability Consultant

Hi, we’re Nexio Projects

Our mission is to empower people and organisations to take their next steps towards shaping a more sustainable future. As trusted advisors to clients across a wide range of sectors, we help clarify the complexities of sustainability management and reporting, facilitating bold commitments and ambitious action.

Headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, our dynamic team of over 50 colleagues is what makes us not only a Great Place To Work, but a truly unique organisation. Powered by purpose-driven intrapreneurs, we foster an environment where everyone’s voice is heard, and we all can make a lasting positive impact.

Sustainability is at the heart of our organisation. We’ve been a certified B Corp since 2019, and we’re currently the highest-ranking B Corp Way consultancy firm in the Benelux region. We’re also a leading global EcoVadis training partner, and hold a Platinum EcoVadis medal – putting us in the top 1% of all comparable companies.

As a Sustainability Consultant in our Rotterdam Office, you will be actively involved in every aspect of the organisation. You will actively diagnose and evaluate a company’s sustainability efforts and implement sustainable changes within the organization. You will develop and put into practice your understanding of sustainability’s key pillars (environment, ethics, labour, and sustainable procurement), assessment methodologies (such as EcoVadis, BCorp, the SDGs, etc.), and reporting standards (UNGC, GRI, CDP, etc.).
