CDP is seeking a motivated intern to join its investor research team to
work on the research projects on high-emitting sectors. The projects will
culminate in the quarterly publication of sector research reports identifying
leaders and laggards across the sector based on a number of environmental
metrics, which on aggregate may have a material impact on company earnings
and valuation (thus potential impact on investment decisions).
The internship will be at CDP's London office and the successful candidates
will have the opportunity to be involved in a range of activities within
the investor research team. It will be a valuable experience for anyone
seeking a career in the area of research (including investment research),
engagement with investors and sustainable business. The internship will
run across key stages of the research project, including defining the scope
and structure of the research, modelling, analysis and due diligence, seeking
feedback from investors and equity analysts, and writing the report. The
interns will assist with tasks within these stages as guided by the head
of investor research and research analysts, and assisting with other tasks
as required by the team.
You will be given full support in developing the skills needed to thrive
in a professional environment. You will have the opportunity to hone your
skills across a number of areas and receive constructive feedback on your
work from experienced professionals.
