Empowering enterprises to keep the planet habitable for all!

Reversing the impact of climate change is one of the world’s biggest challenges. And businesses have a responsibility to lead the way. While individual consumer choices are important, over 80% of all the emissions reductions necessary for the world to reach Net-Zero, require business-level action. But despite the growing momentum and ambition from companies around the world to set Net-Zero goals, there are significant challenges to delivering on these ambitions. Business leaders don’t really know how they will get there. And the very first step, of getting emissions measurement right, is hard.

Terrascope is an enterprise-grade, end-to-end decarbonisation SaaS platform. By combining AI-assisted carbon measurement & management with deep industry & sustainability expertise, Terrascope helps solve the data management, emissions reduction planning and implementation challenges that large enterprises face to decarbonise their operations and complex supply chains.
 
Publicly launched in June '22, Terrascope is working with customers in multiple industry verticals such as agriculture, food & beverage and consumer packaged goods, as well as horizontals such as manufacturing, technology, transportation and real estate. Terrascope is an innovative player to support enterprises in their green transformation.

Backed by Nupo Ventures (formerly Olam Ventures) and incubated with support from BCG X, Terrascope has now achieved a number of globally recognised accreditations, with more on the way – including being the first CDP Gold Accredited Software provider from Asia and signing The Climate Pledge to be net zero by 2040. Terrascope aims to lead by example and demonstrate that business growth and carbon reduction can go hand in hand.


As a tech company building a SaaS decarbonisation platform, Terrascope’s Sustainability team provides specialised climate change knowledge and expertise across two functions:
- Decarbonisation specialists to provide corporate decarbonisation advice, from emissions measurement to data driven GHG reduction strategies and actions.
- Climate Regulations and Reporting specialists to provide advice on the emerging climate disclosure rules and reporting requirements globally.

Our experts support key teams and functions within Terrascope in order to build a world class decarbonisation product - in particular the Commercial, Product, Data Science, Implementation and R&D, and Design teams. Terrascope also recently announced the appointment of our Sustainability Advisory Council.

We are seeking a Climate Change Research Intern to support the Sustainability team with our research priorities and to synthesise this research into well document and cited internal knowledge assets that are shared across teams.

Key research priorities are:
- Sectoral decarbonisation strategies: researching and documenting methods and actions that aim to reduce or eliminate the emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change in the following sectors: food & agriculture, consumer and retail, and technology and media.
- Climate change metrics: corporate GHG emissions reports can vary by region and country. As a platform serving clients globally, this research project aims to compare the emerging requirements for corporate GHG reporting, from global standards such as the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), to national legislation such as Singapore’s mandatory climate disclosures.
- State of climate regulations: this project will research climate change policies being implemented by governments and organisations that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulations can include emissions reduction targets, monitoring reporting and verification of corporate carbon accounting, sector-specific requirements, and carbon pricing mechanisms, among other strategies

  • Conduct emission source materiality research
  • Conduct benchmarking research
  • Work with our teams to create customer demos
