The urgency of climate action is building every day. To help companies decarbonize faster, we’ve raised a Series B from @kleinerperkins and @sequoia and are bringing on two long-time climate leaders as advisors: @CFigueres and @MarkJCarney.
The SEC has officially proposed that public companies begin reporting their carbon emissions and climate risks alongside their financial results—with the same rigor.
A few quick thoughts about what this means, and why it’s good news for companies.
As of today, Watershed is managing 32.9 million metric tonnes of CO2. That's more than all of Denmark's CO2 emissions, a country of nearly 6 million people! Next stop—all of Europe 🚀
We’re partnering with Frontier to bring climate-critical permanent carbon removal to companies of all sizes and sectors.
@boomsupersonic, @canva, @skims, and @Zendesk are raising the bar for climate leadership as the first Watershed customers to participate.
For all the recent progress on corporate climate, one problem looms large: the bottom of this iceberg.
Today we’re introducing Watershed Finance: a new climate toolbox to help the financial industry address this hidden mass of global emissions.

We’re honored to welcome @AlGore as a personal investor in Watershed. Few people have had as much impact in the movement to solve climate change. Watch his take on where we stand:

The world has reached a turning point in the battle against climate change. Much of the technology to decarbonize the economy exists, and businesses and governments are springing into action. But we have less than a decade left to bend the carbon curve. watershedclimate.com/blog/watershed…
We often get asked what really moves the needle on climate. What can companies do to both cut their emissions fast and help suppliers come along with them?
A short thread to round up some top strategies and resources:
Landmark day for carbon removal. Bravo to @nanransohoff@stripe@stacykauk@Shopify and team for 10x-ing the demand for getting carbon out of the atmosphere.
Today, I’m excited to launch Frontier—an advance market commitment (AMC) that will buy $925M+ of permanent carbon removal by 2030. Build and we will buy: frontierclimate.com. 🛠️
After the press releases and the pledges, it’s the climate teams inside of companies that make ambitious carbon commitments a reality. We're lucky to work with them every day.
