Volunteer for a startup empowering employees to drive change through sustainability ?

GreenKPI


We enable companies to operationalise sustainability with staff-driven actions, metrics tracking, and interactive reports.


GreenKPI addresses the major barriers preventing companies from incorporating sustainability into their operations: time, cost, and lack of knowledge. Organisations often struggle with the "how-to" of change, the expense of hiring consultants, and the risk of staff turnover hindering progress.


GreenKPI's solution is a B2B SaaS platform that integrates sustainability directly with company operations. It empowers staff to drive change using hundreds of pre-loaded sustainability actions, alongside the ability to create custom actions. The platform includes a project management system to ensure initiatives are actionable, measurable, and repeatable. Crucially, GreenKPI provides automated, interactive reports and dashboards. These reports combine completed actions with uploaded environmental, social, and economic metrics, allowing companies to easily track performance, share progress via updated URLs, and demonstrate their story of action and change.
