In 2015, the world's leaders committed to a sweeping set of targets to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests by 2030. It's clear that the world is nowhere near on track to meet these 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and we need a systemic change and we need it fast. This means sustainable alternatives need to scale fast and established companies need to change their strategy. It’s our mission to be a catalyst for the transition toward a sustainable economy by making it easy for millions of companies to become more sustainable.
With a still quite small but growing tech team, we’ve developed impact management software for companies and their investors to assess their impact, help them to track and report their progress and provide first improvement suggestions. At its core, we develop a cause and effect knowledge base that links business activities to sustainability risks and opportunities to provide tailored improvement recommendations.
Our database is based on three types of data: User data, data from external data providers (e.g. on CO₂ emissions, life-cycle assessments, etc.) and public documents such as research articles, trade magazines, news or blogs. Based on this database, we can assess the sustainability impacts of companies and make relevant suggestions for improvement with minimal data input. Our goal is to be able to show initial evaluations and relevant improvement potentials for a company in less than 10 minutes and to achieve this, we need you to join our team.
We value mutual trust, transparency, and cooperation across teams, domains, and workstreams. We embrace vulnerability and we’re open with what we don’t know and what we don’t understand. We're looking for many perspectives to form a holistic view and create a system we can be proud of.
We’re currently working from a WeWork office or remotely. We have occasional evening events (mostly cooking stuff together or going to a beer garden) and offer flexibility for you to choose to work from home or to come to the office. Given half of our team are parents of young children, we try to create a family-friendly work environment that gives you the flexibility you need.
