SF6 Innovation Internship

Over 4 months we will work to scope and structure global innovation efforts in one, and potentially more, key areas to tackle large sustainability challenges. The areas are SF6, plastics (with a focus on bio plastics) and agricultural innovation (including soil carbon measurement).
A large focus will be on innovation to tackle the challenge of SF6. SF6 is the worst greenhouse gas, approximately 23,500 worse than CO2 on a molecule-to-molecule basis. It is used in the distribution of power around the world and even the small amounts that leak to the atmosphere have a huge impact. The objective of the SF6 stream is to become a world leader in understanding SF6 from a business perspective with the intent of establishing a B-Corporation to drive innovation to solve the problem.
The intern will work with Eric Beynon (Founder of Sustainable Growth Company) directly with exposure to other innovation partners, including partners in U.S. The project will require a host of business skills, including strategic thinking, analytics and communications.
