But what is BeCause?

BeCause is a online hub for MARKETPLACE SUSTAINABILITY 🌏 We help you find sustainable brands to buy from, work for & impact. 🦸 How? We give brands the opportunity to showcase their Sustainability CV on our hub, digitally. Thereby, also creating features that help them showcase it on their own channels. The hub can simply:

  • Assemble companies’ digital sustainability CV in one single place – e.g., SDGs, Donations, Awards, Certifications, Industry Challenges.

  • Organize the sustainability communications in a simplified and organized way that all stakeholders can understand. 

  • Showcase easily & automatically to all audiences across various channels – via our widgets, reports, integrations and more.

  • Winning attitude - knowing that there are easy days and hard days and the ability to get through them both

  • Set goals and are eager to reach them.

  • Are a team player - we have no room for sharp elbows, politics, or egos in BeCause.

What you can expect from us on the first day?

  • Flexible working remote options for those onsite (just speak to your team)

  • Team events

BeCause

Welcome to BeCause – the sustainability management hub. We envision a future, where sustainable choices flow seamlessly for decision-makers throughout ecosystems such as Travel & Tourism, so all may thrive. Just imagine booking a trip where you throughout your user journey can choose sustainable options for hotels, restaurants, etc., with utter ease, credibility, and ever-improving competitiveness, so as to allow travelling to go hand in hand with a positive impact rather than a negative footprint, to reward responsibility-leading businesses in an upwards spiral towards sustainability, and thus to allow for simply exploring this beautiful world with a good feeling and clear conscience. That’s what we’re aiming for and work to empower. We get there with our AI-powered platform, because.eco, offering the simplest, fastest & most synergistic way for businesses to manage their sustainability work- & dataflows, so they can supercharge their positive impact on people, planet & profits. We do this by unifying & automating the work of collecting, coordinating, communicating & compounding sustainability accolades of businesses, both for the individual company, while connecting the collective ecosystem of e.g. hotels, marketplaces, certifiers & other stakeholders, all in one place. BeCause is growing fast with a tried, true & future-proof product that already has won some prestigious awards and helps some of the world's leading travel & tourism companies, including Google, Booking.com, easyJet, TUI, and Radisson Hotel Group. And we are backed by an awesome group of investors that add great resources and experience with skyrocketing other startups to the moon – just like they believe we will. Yet, we are just getting started! And there are still vacant seats on the spaceship – many blanks you can still help fill out, many existing solutions you can help us upgrade to the next excellence level, and a big market waiting you can help serve.
