Our Vision

To provide Climate Solutions that regenerate lives.

Our Mission

Catalyze nature-based economies by 2030, where thriving communities and ecosystems prove that environmental healing is the foundation of lasting wealth.

Our Story

Our Co-founders first met at One Young World Summit 2018 in the Netherlands, taking their parts as the representative of their respective companies to solve the world's most pressing issues, including climate change. Their inherent nature led them to bring CarbonEthics to the table.

The ferocity of the climate imbalance led CarbonEthics to be founded in May 2019. By building high-quality projects aimed to restore climate, empowers community, and thriving biodiversity. We exist to drive climate solutions in Indonesia that contribute meaningful impact on people and the planet. Starting as a Not-For-Profit Organization, CarbonEthics is now expanding our arm with a social enterprise leg, partnering with other businesses and institutions to accelerate the race to net zero.
