🌎 The Problem we’re solving
2023 was a record year for global temperatures, but also for climate regulatory pressure. More than two-thirds of global Fortune 500 companies have made significant climate pledges, and more than 10,000 companies are now required to file sustainability disclosures under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
Unfortunately, with the tools we have today, sustainability teams spend upwards of 100M work hours annually sifting through utility data manually - on top of that, inaccurate data leads to millions in corporate fines.
🧑💻 How we’re solving this problem
Leafpress brings large language models to the fight against climate change. Our automated approach equips real estate companies with accurate data collected in minutes, not months.
📈 Why we’re hiring
Demand for Leafpress has greatly exceeded expectations and outpaced our ability to build the product. We’re looking for a full stack engineer to join us as we apply the latest in AI technology to one of the most meaningful sectors in the world.
