Our take
The urgency in addressing climate change has intensified, with the scientific consensus emphasizing the necessity of removing billions of tons of CO₂ annual to meet the 1.5°C target. Carbon Direct is playing a pivotal role in facilitating this transition by bridging the gap between carbon science and actionable climate strategies.
It does so through two main services: software for Fortune 500 companies to build serious carbon management plans, and an investment arm that backs high-quality carbon removal projects around the world. It's all grounded in science and its known for its team of experts, some of whom helped shape efforts like Elon Musk's $100M XPRIZE for carbon removal.
And its momentum isn't slowing down anytime soon, It now counts big names like Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Meta, and JetBlue as clients. It's also been chosen as an Implementation Partner for the World EconomiC Forum's First Movers Coalition and made LinkedIn's Top Startups list two years running. The challenge now? Keeping up the pace. With the clock ticking on climate change, execution at scale matters now more than ever.
