A comment on ESG should be boiled down to one simple measure: emissions.

Our startup takes a new data approach to transparency and granularity of ESG data to sidestep a lot of the criticisms of greenwashing, and help people understand. I don't think oversimplifying to one metric is an answer for all the people who care about other things (e.g. data privacy, corporate corruption, so many other issues).

We have a little description of our approach at https://www.yourstake.org/info/noscore-esg and we're hiring engineers! If you don't see something that fits you can still send your resume/portfolio to [email protected]

Alarm bells start going off whenever I see objective measurements with subjective or moral measurements.

We at Evil Corp burned down half of the Amazon rain forest for a golf course, but we put a BLM banner on our website...so a B+?

Would you consider candidates outside the US? e.g. in Canada?
