Clean Energy VenturesESG & Sustainability Jobs

At Clean Energy Ventures, we invest in companies commercializing disruptive advanced energy technologies and business model innovations. For us, investing in climatetech isn't new; our leadership has been investing successfully in early-stage climatetech companies for over 15 years together. We work to help our investments achieve significant scale to address global climate change

Clean Energy Ventures is a venture capital firm focused exclusively on early-stage climate technology companies. Based in Boston with a presence in London, the firm backs startups commercializing advanced energy technologies and business model innovations, typically as a first institutional investor. The team includes trained physicists and engineers who conduct deep technical due diligence on each investment.

Why it matters

Every company CEV backs must demonstrate the potential to achieve multi-gigaton-scale greenhouse gas emissions reductions within three decades - a concrete threshold that filters out incremental improvements in favor of technologies capable of meaningful climate impact. Beyond capital, the firm offers hands-on support including co-developing patents, talent acquisition, and strategic marketing, positioning itself as an active partner rather than a passive funder.

CEV's leadership has been investing in climate tech for over 15 years, and the firm participates in broader coalition efforts to address funding gaps in the climate tech ecosystem. Its portfolio spans a range of energy and decarbonization technologies across global markets.

How this is measured

We fetch every open role a company publishes and classify each one with an automated keyword-and-context filter. Roles that match sustainability, climate, environmental, or governance criteria are kept and counted as active; the rest are filtered out. This is one transparent signal of how much of a company's current hiring is sustainability-focused - it is not a verdict on the company, and it reflects only public job postings we have tracked, not the company's full operations.

The classifier is automated and imperfect: it can occasionally mis-classify an individual role, so treat small differences as noise. We only show this signal when we have screened enough roles for the numbers to be meaningful.
