Our Vision
OUR VISION
Reimagining capitalism for a more inspiring, sustainable & equitable world.
We picture a world where natural capital has value, investments are transparent, landholders can feed their families and local communities can create new jobs and regenerative industries.
OUR MISSION
Creating a world where trees & natural capital are more valuable alive than dead.
Status Quo = Trees don’t have value when alive, only when they are cut-down for timber. Landholders with trees can only make money when they cut the tree down and sell the timber or convert the land to another use.
Better Model = What if living trees had value and landholders could make money from trees?
Our Approach
A solutions focus and sustainability first approach...
Carbon Planet is the vision of our Founder, Cath Thrupp.
Cath saw the need for solutions that address the core issues standing in the way of true sustainability. Cath envisaged a way for farmers, traditional owners and local communities to benefit, at scale, from the success of all projects. Every project is designed so that success equals increased community ownership of outcomes across the project life cycle, provides greater learning opportunities for communities and investors alike, and creates wider benefits for local communities.
“Complex problems can be addressed with a combination of new thinking and technology. Old linear models can be replaced with systems solutions and advanced ecosystems of collaborative partnerships that support landholders and traditional owners with sustainability and market access. Simply put, we are all better off when our business models integrate people, place and sustainability from Day 1″.
