Sustainability Internship at International Bon Ton Toys
Bon Ton Toys is a leading sustainable plush toy manufacturer from Amsterdam, specializing in high-quality plush toys since 1933. They champion environmental sustainability and ethical production practices because, when it comes to our children, only the best is good enough!
As a B Corp certified company, they believe their toys should bring joy to children while positively impacting the global community and environment. All of their products adhere to the highest industry standards, achieved through thorough testing, careful material selection, and long-term relationships with key partners.
Bon Ton Toys has its own plush brand, B.T. Chaps, and creates plush toys for three international licenses: Miffy (nijntje), WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), and Peanuts. They excel in custom-made concepts for a wide range of international customers.
Currently, they develop, produce, and distribute to the premium segment in over 50 countries, both domestically and in duty-free markets. Whether you’ re looking for designer pieces, knitted friends, or 100% recycled PET plush, Bon Ton Toys covers the full soft-toy range.
Following the Global Recycling Standard and exceeding it, Bon Ton Toys uses 100% recycled filling. Since 2021, they have developed their first completely recycled plush!
Materials matter, but so do people; that’s why they ensure that partnering factories are certified with the ethical supply chain program, ICTI. The organization is currently in a phase of further professionalization to facilitate growth, making this an excellent opportunity for a talented Product Development Coordinator to grow with the organization in terms of role and responsibilities.
About the job
Are you driven by sustainability, compliance, and impact? Bon Ton Toys is looking for a Sustainability & Compliance Intern (32–40 hours per week) to support our sustainability team with a strong focus on B Corp recertification and ECGT (Environmental, Climate & Governance Transparency) requirements.
In this role, you will actively contribute to assessing whether the company aligns with current and upcoming legal sustainability requirements, identify gaps, and support improvement actions where needed. You will also play a key role in preparing for B Corp recertification under the updated standards. As we are a relatively small team, you will be given real responsibility and meaningful, hands-on experience.
The internship runs for 20 weeks, starting September ‘26, with 4-5 working days per week, of which 2–3 days are office-based at our headquarters in Amsterdam.

- Collecting, structuring, and validating sustainability data from internal teams and external suppliers.
- Contributing to the drafting and review of sustainability-related documentation and reporting.
- Collaborating with different departments to ensure consistent and accurate sustainability information.
- Supporting internal awareness through workshops, training sessions, or internal communications on sustainability and compliance topics.
Dit is wie je bent
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Environmental Science, Sustainability, Environmental Law, or a related field.
- Strong command of English (written and spoken); Dutch is a plus.
- Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
- Interest in sustainability regulation, corporate responsibility, and compliance.
- Proactive, structured, and comfortable working independently.
- Able to work with complex requirements and translate them into practical actions.
