Who we are

Our trans-disciplinary team has expertise across sustainability, climate, governance, strategy, systems, new economics, reporting, academia, engineering and design, among others. We hold experience working with the EU, the UN, KICs and across the corporate world, and in collaborative projects such as Horizon Europe.

Engagement, Reporting & Case Building

Part of our work is walking the talk of a new economy that puts people and planet first. So we run the organisation on the terms we argue for:

Shared decision-making

Decisions are made by the people they affect, not passed down.

2:1 pay ratio

The highest salary is no more than twice the lowest.

34-hour week

Full time, at four and a bit days.

Our process for developing policies like these is open source, and we are always happy to share it. Just drop us an email.

Präsidium

The elected board of LFCA Umweltschutz e.V.

Open call

We are seeking six new members for our inaugural advisory board

In line with our mission and corresponding strategy to accelerate business transition to new economic models that put people and planet first, we are seeking candidates with expertise in the following areas.

Expertise

Non-profit fundraising and financial modelling
Practical experience implementing new economic models in business
Partnerships and membership growth
Work and culture (e.g. participatory decision-making and governance, distributed ownership)
Climate and nature
Social justice in business
Pragmatic and ethical use of AI
Organisational change management, especially from business as usual to economic models that centre people and planet

We particularly welcome candidates of diverse genders, ages and cultural backgrounds who are:

Actively engaged in this space - attending events, seeking out new thinking, and bringing ideas to us rather than waiting to be asked.
Conscious of the room they take up, listen carefully and ask great questions.
Pragmatic bridge-builders - visionaries who hold their views lightly and are open to being changed by perspectives different from their own, especially from those with different life experiences. A good sense of humour helps, too.
Honest and transparent - who say what they mean, keep their word, and share information and networks openly.

Commitment involves biannual online meetings, plus occasional ad-hoc support - typically no more than a few hours per year. Please note this is a voluntary, unpaid role. It is an opportunity to shape emerging thinking around climate and new economic transformation in business.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please get in touch with a short bio or introduction.
