ABOUT RUBBERWAY

RubberWay is a young start-up with a mission to improve supply chain transparency in the natural rubber industry. The project was first launched in 2016 by the tire manufacturer Michelin and became a standalone company incorporated in Singapore in 2020. Now, the shareholding structure is composed of both Michelin and Continental, serving major corporate clients such as Goodyear and Sumitomo. We are proud of our dual culture of small company working with large businesses, giving us a foot in both the startup and corporate worlds. We are pleased to have a positive impact on the sustainability of the natural rubber industry.
RubberWay’s first tool is a Risk-Mapping solution designed to help natural rubber processors identify social and environmental risks in their upstream supply chains. The solution comprises questionnaires that are uniquely tailored to each player in the natural rubber supply chain such as farmers and estates.
The RubberWay team is looking for a Sustainability & Compliance Intern to conduct a comprehensive literature review to gather substantiative information to support our ongoing project to revise RubberWay’s questionnaires. The intern will report to the Head of Operations and work in close collaboration with the Engagement Manager.
