/ Diversity

Our people are the heart of Sustainable Ventures.

The climate crisis is a social and inclusion issue, and we especially encourage applications from individuals underrepresented in the climate space. We welcome applicants with diverse experiences.

About Sustainable Ventures

We are Europe's largest ecosystem of climate tech startups. Following our recent expansion of our Central London headquarters, we're focused on our mission to develop 1000 new businesses by 2025, and expand our operations across UK regions.

Our impact on the planet's climate and its natural resources is being felt more often and by more people than ever before. It is clear that significant changes must be made to achieve the targets set by the IPCC and reach Net Zero by 2050. This presents the world's biggest challenge and it is something that SV has been addressing since 2011. We believe in the power of commercial innovation to address the twin challenges of climate change and resource scarcity.

Over the past 12 years we have expanded our services to cover: Investment with 45+ investments, Workspaces with 100+ member companies, and 500+ businesses supported to scale. These startups have created 5500 jobs and raised over £1bn of investment, a number of which have been acquired by corporates e.g. Ecar Club by Europcar, Zeigo by Schneider Electric, and Sennen by Octopus Energy.

We have also recently secured a strategic equity investment led by Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital. This investment will be applied to fund the Company's growth plans, including the launch of regional locations across the UK and expanding the professional services provided to startups and scaleups. In addition, we'll be working in partnership with Barclays, to leverage their experience as an advisor, bank and investor through developing a number of joint initiatives to accelerate the net zero innovation sector.

/ Application instructions

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
