About GreenDelta

Who we are, and what do we do

Based in Berlin (Germany), we had since the start of the company in 2004 the idea to combine data, tools, and smart methods for assessing the sustainability of products and “everything else” over the life cycle.

In the last years, therefore, we created technical support tools such as the format converter, an EPD editor, various web-based tools for non-experts, and the open source software openLCA for performing Life Cycle Assessments, which is now the world’s most widely used LCA software.

We created Nexus, the largest repository for LCA data, and PSILCA, a transparent database for social impacts over the life cycle, representing the entire world economy. We are working on the next generation of a data pool for environmental assessments over the life cycle. We are now preparing data for about 10 different companies who use life cycle data in their own systems, and work in several German, European and also North-American research projects to advance sustainability assessment, e.g. for hydrogen systems, in the building sector, for trading plastic recyclates, bringing principles of biology into industrial production processes, establishing a digital product pass, and more; we are providing training and support to users of openLCA, and not the least, we work with a growing number of companies to build up own teams for sustainability, and to evaluate, better understand, and ideally reduce the environmental and sustainability performance of products, from menstrual products to data centres to bike tires to wooden planks to electric components to wind farms.

Expect to meet people in a team that is mastering all aspects of sustainability, from data collection to database creation and harmonisation, to software development in sustainability, and that is also putting these elements to practical use, for clients and in projects worldwide.

Does this sound interesting to you?

A good fit?

• You are curious and intelligent,
• careful and somewhat bold at the same time,
• interested in the environment and sustainability,
• have an understanding for data and numbers,
• but also in language, communication and people.
• you want to achieve results,
• and contribute to spearheading developments in sustainability, for both small and really large
  companies and organisations.

About the position

The internship is meant for students that want to work in a company environment and dig deeper into the LCA field or software development and sustainability. Interns at GreenDelta are divided into two main groups:

• Consultancy team – working closely with environmental, economic or social LCA or database development. The specific task will depend on your time of application.
• Developer team – working closely with developing software or tools for sustainability.

The duration of the internship can vary, from 6 weeks until even a year. We are flexible with your starting time and duration of the internship. It just has to make sense for both of us. Ideally the internship takes place in the city of Berlin, at our office.
