“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"
The earth is already witnessing the unprecedented side effects of global warming and environmental degradation, in the form of shrinking glaciers, forest fires, flooded cities, and deadly heat waves. The best scientific studies all project that things will only get more dire, unless we take drastic action as a society to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental effluents.
In response to these growing concerns, there is increasingly regulatory and consumer pressure on companies to reduce their GHG emissions and transparently report on their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) metrics. Prioritising sustainable, responsible and ethical business practices is now mainstream, and forward-looking companies are making increasingly ambitious climate commitments to prepare their businesses for the future.
In order to set and achieve their sustainability targets, companies will need a suite of science-based tools that help them account, track, reduce and report their GHG emissions, environmental footprints and social and governance metrics.
StepChange is focused on developing state-of-the-art sustainability tools for businesses, with the goal of empowering these companies with a suite of sophisticated solutions for measuring, managing, improving and reporting their ESG performance across a comprehensive set of metrics.
We believe that equipping companies with the specialised tools they need to achieve their sustainability goals will play a vital role in enabling the transition to a more sustainable global economy, while simultaneously tackling some of the world's most pressing problems along the way.
We are an early stage, global, VC-funded startup based in the US and India. The founders are MIT and IITB alumni with past experience at McKinsey, Ola, Accel and multiple social enterprises.
We are a well-capitalized, venture-backed, start-up, with an experienced leadership team with deep expertise in sustainability. We are actively looking to grow our team and are always on the look-out for committed and passionate individuals that are looking for tangible opportunities to build better tools for a better future.
