WORK EXPERIENCE
Intern at Philips – Group Sustainability June 2016-July 2016
Philips embraces the principles and opportunities of the circular economy and decouple economic growth from the use of resources. During my internship, I was asked to create a material footprint for Philips, based on data from multiple source systems. MATLAB, Tableau and Microsoft Office were used, and I presented my final work directly to the head of Group Sustainability. Currently, Philips is using my work to try to implement the circular economy into its supply chain.
