WHAT IS SYLVERA ANYWAY? โ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘จ๐ŸŒณ

Sylvera helps organisations make confident decisions in carbon and commodity markets. We independently assess the quality of carbon projects, track market pricing and supply signals, and provide geospatial and carbon intensity data โ€” giving our clients the clarity they need to invest in real climate action.

We're a team of 130+ scientists, engineers, and market experts based across London, New York, Sรฃo Paulo, Singapore, and Tokyo. Our work spans market intelligence, geospatial analytics, multi-scale lidar research, and policy analysis. We partner with governments and policymakers to raise the bar for transparency and rigour across carbon markets.

Backed by over $96 million from investors including Fidelity, Balderton Capital, Index Ventures, and Insight Partners, we're trusted by Fortune 500 companies, major financial institutions, and governments worldwide.

If you care about climate, enjoy solving hard problems, and want to work with people who take the mission seriously โ€” we'd love to hear from you.
