Sustainability Expert - Procurement

Pushing boundaries for a sustainable future
Can clean-energy tech change the world? We say yes. Here’s why. The way we heat our homes today is responsible for 15% of all of Europe’s CO2 emissions. Switching to sustainable, clean energy solutions is the easiest and most impactful way households can play their part in net zero.

We are a next-generation home energy champion. We passionately believe that creating smart, sustainable homes is our way to make a positive impact in the world. Clean-energy tech is purposeful work. Urgent work. We’d love you to do it with us.
