founded in 2017 that has kept more than a million pounds of furniture from landfills to date. The company’s mission? To reduce the nearly 10 million tons of furniture that end up getting dumped every year.“Recruiting is always a challenge, particularly when you are a startup looking for engineers,” said Michael Barlow, the co-founder and CEO of Fernish. “Our commitment to sustainability has been a critical differentiator.
He said there’s a misperception that if you work in tech, you aren’t as concerned about the environment. “Our finance and product teams pull stats on sustainability; our sourcing and merchandising teams are actively working to find great items that are more renewable. Everyone in the company is involved and deeply invested in our mission.
“Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for companies, universities and governments to make informed decisions about their emissions, energy usage, water consumption, waste generation and the other key environmental aspects in their day-to-day operations,” said Chris Bolman, Brightest’s co-founder and CEO.
Launched in 2018, Brightest assists businesses in understanding how to optimize their environmental impacts and supply chains. This, in turn, helps companies accelerate their green transition. “We’re also carbon-neutral as a company and re-invest a percentage of our revenue in forest conservation, natural habitat restoration and carbon-capture projects,” added Bolman.
Brightest consistently sees more than 100 applicants for every job they post, “including candidates from elite universities and top tech and consulting firms, because they feel like we’re a place where their work really matters, and they recognize that sustainability is one of the best industries to build a career in right now.”
Lol I consider what’s best for me and my family first but maybe I’m just selfish 🤷🏻♂️. Or these are younger people or careerists with no children.
6 months from now when the recession is in full effect, this petty nonsense isn't going to matter anymore...
Say it: top grads are not interested in working at Goldman Sachs.
Sounds nice. But not so sustainable as they would think...
Where can a woke applicant work that won't have any such offensive liabilities?
Not me
Completely a survey is much different then actually taking a job.
I hope they’re not working for the government
I would also like to work at a place where I only had to work 3 hours, with free food, free cafe latte, and spaces to do anything other than work. grow the heck up kids.
