Sustainability Expert

TWC Recruitment is partnering with a rapidly growing, Y Combinator-backed Envirotech startup to help them recruit a Sustainability Expert.

Their mission is to get the world to net zero greenhouse gas emissions to tackle the ever-growing issue of climate change.

They do this by tracking the carbon emitted by corporations worldwide. The data they provide improves the quality of reporting and disclosures, facilitates more effective decarbonisation planning, and enables cleaner operations and practices for companies.

They are building a model of the greenhouse gas profile of the world’s largest businesses — which account for a significant portion of global emissions. They can interpret the carbon emissions of large Enterprises and provide data ingestion, auditable carbon calculations, and a single source truth for an organisation’s greenhouse to accurately map out their gas footprint.
