<div>We are a team of scientists, engineers, and innovators with a shared goal of reducing atmospheric CO2 by scaling carbon management.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>What do we do?</strong></div>
<div>We operate two distinct businesses:</div>
<div>-&nbsp;<u>Advisory &amp; Software</u>: We work with Fortune 500 corporate clients like Microsoft, Shopify, and Alaska Airlines to develop long-term carbon management plans. We&rsquo;re also building a&nbsp;platform to facilitate the procurement, purchasing, and monitoring of carbon removals, helping make net zero emissions a reality for all businesses.</div>
<div>-&nbsp;<u>Investments</u>: We scale the supply of quality removals by investing in high-potential technologies vetted by science-backed sourcing and diligence.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The science is clear: we need to pair CO2 emission reductions with removals to limit global temperatures to&nbsp;<a class="postings-link" href="http://1.5c/">1.5C</a>, and the time to act is now. Our 40+ leading scientists have expertise in all areas of carbon management, from carbon footprinting to carbon removal procurement, and their insight guides our work.</div>
