At ImpactNexus, we develop software that makes it easy for companies and their investors to take action on sustainability.
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 sustainability 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. With first investors, customers, and funding from the National Climate Initiative Germany, we’re excited to grow our team.
We value mutual trust, transparency, and cooperation across teams, domains, and work streams. We embrace vulnerability and we’re open with what we don’t know and what we don’t understand. Furthermore, we aim to include diverse perspectives in our team to create a team dynamic that we can be proud of.
We’re currently working fully remote with occasional evening events (mostly cooking together or going to a beer garden) with plans to move to a co-working space for a few days a week. Given half of our team are parents of young children, we strive to create a family-friendly work environment that gives you the flexibility you need.
