About – Calyx Global

Our Purpose: Better Carbon Markets

Calyx Global is committed to ensuring that the growth of carbon markets leads to more impact – in the fight against climate change, in the quest to maintain a healthy planet and as a means to contribute to positive societal outcomes for individuals and communities around the world.

We believe that rigorous, independent, evidence-based insights and ratings for carbon credits can help ensure that the voluntary carbon market’s growth rewards credits that make the biggest difference. We want to work together in this pursuit with buyers, investors, traders and other market participants who care about integrity and impact.

Founders

Donna and Duncan’s paths briefly crossed during their pre-Calyx days around the topic of quality in carbon markets. In late 2020, they started exploring a possible partnership in pursuit of a ratings service for carbon credits, and, with generous early support from the Climate and Land Use Foundation and the David & Lucile Packard Foundation they decided to launch Calyx Global in early 2021. Since then, they have been hard at work with an amazing team of collaborators to orient carbon markets towards greater impact on climate and sustainability.
