Sylvera is scaling carbon markets with software, by developing tools to quantify stocks of carbon stored in vegetation using AI applied to satellite or drone data.
Using current quantification techniques, it is not possible to provide accurate and regular data on the performance of forestry projects, which leads to issues with corruption, fraud and uncertainty. This leads to significant financial and reputational risk for corporates purchasing offsets and makes it hard for high quality forest projects to secure fair prices and low cost finance at large scale.
By providing a quantitative sequestration audit trail and associated risk ratings, Sylvera intends to underpin effective voluntary carbon markets. This will allow the market to scale to keep the planet under 2C of warming, and unlock huge co benefits for nature and society.

Carbon markets are such a critical tool to prevent/mitigate the impact of climate change on the planet and communities around the world! Enabling high-quality climate action at scale is one of the most intellectually challenging problems today as it covers data & tech to regulation & behavior change.

Sylvera is driving positive change within international carbon markets through the vehicle of ratings for carbon credits. This empowers buyers of carbon credits to choose the best credits - incentivising the development of good, impactful projects and while mitigating the supply of poor quality credits to the market. All this is done using technology on the bleeding edge of Earth Observation and hard work from incredibly intelligent people.

Sylvera is a wonderful place to work for many reasons - one of them are the various perks. Remote working is normal - enabling you to be flexible on your location. We get unlimited holiday and are encouraged to use it. Learning and development budgets are there to be used to develop your personal skills. Another angle to this is how dynamic and flexible the structure of the company is. It allows people to learn where they might fit best and move laterally within the business accordingly.

I've met so many nice people at Sylvera and the new hires are equally lovely. It really makes a difference going to the office or being on a video call when you know that the diverse team around you are all really kind and supportive.

The main perk is unlimited holiday and incentives to take it. This means that as long as you get your work done, you don't have to worry about taking the odd day for leave here or a morning off for travelling there. We also finish at 2pm on Fridays and have the Christmas to New Year period off for free, which means more time with family and friends. This is something that Sylvera clearly cares about.
