Operations Manager

Who are we?

Are you worried about the climate crisis and how it will impact our future? So are we.

That’s why we are on a mission to make sure every building on this planet is green.

The built environment contributes almost 40 percent to global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. We want to get that number down as quickly as possible.

We were founded to verify the impact of the built environment around the world, acting as an independent third party to validate sustainability claims made about buildings and ensure companies are genuinely making a positive difference.

We are a small organisation but we strongly believe that a strong team with a clear purpose can make a real impact. Our mode of operation is do good and be good. We always strive to do good for the planet, and also be a good employer.
