Company Description:What is Coltura? Coltura is a nonprofit organization that is laser-focused on the transition away from gasoline and diesel towards cleaner alternatives. Coltura's name is a mashup of CO2 and culture – to demonstrate the need to break our love affair with gasoline. Vehicle emissions from gasoline and diesel are the country’s biggest source of air pollution. Coltura’s strategy addresses three key aspects of the problem: gasoline demand, gasoline supply and gasoline culture. Our focus currently is Washington State and California, but steps are in motion for continued expansion and influence of other states.
Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Coltura is committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as core foundations in our employment practices and the work that we do. We are open to learning new concepts, practices, and ideas. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and we strictly prohibit discrimination. We welcome diverse candidates to apply for this position.
