Internship at Galaxus: turning theory into practice
28.6.2021
Translation: Eva Francis
The Galaxus Community has proven that sustainable e-commerce is important to them. Digitec Galaxus customers in Switzerland and Galaxus customers in Germany have invested 1.3 million euros in climate protection projects over the past twelve months. Our intern Edisa Vent is currently supporting our team in Krefeld in investigating how sustainability is approached and improved within the company.
You’re a student and intern at Galaxus in Krefeld until August. What are you studying?
Edisa Vent: I’m studying two courses at RWTH Aachen University: Political Science and Theology and Global Development. In both courses, I’m focusing on sustainability. I'm also writing my master's thesis about sustainability, more specifically the Supply Chain Law in Germany and the changes this law bring with it for businesses.
What are you responsible for in your internship at Galaxus?
I take care of sustainability issues at Galaxus Deutschland, focusing on cardboard boxes and packaging, but also on stakeholder analyses and reporting, CO2 values and waste management. I get to take a look at everything, which is very exciting. That's also the beauty of sustainability, it connects various business areas.
What’s your impression of Galaxus as an employer?
I particularly like the working atmosphere. I don't have to be afraid to ask questions or ask for help. Everyone is friendly and happy to help. That's why I feel very at ease at Galaxus. This isn’t easy, especially in times of Covid and working from home, but Galaxus does a good job of creating this friendly atmosphere. I'm very happy about that.
Do you have a favourite Galaxus product?
I wouldn’t say so. Having said that, I’m most interested in camera lenses and cameras. When Covid started, I lost my job in the restaurant business and suddenly I had a lot of time on my hands. I started taking more pictures and shooting videos. Especially as a student, you need to compare prices, so Galaxus definitely has good offers.
Thanks for the interview, Edisa.
