Climate change is humanity’s greatest challenge—and our greatest opportunity. We can approach it with fear and despair, or we can tackle it with ambition and optimism. We can view it as an obstacle to progress, or as an accelerant of prosperity.
At Watershed, we choose optimism. In the actions that businesses are taking to curb emissions and reduce climate risk, we see opportunity for a smarter, more resilient economy. In the new careers and markets being created, we see countless pathways to future growth. In the daily choices made by executives, investors, consumers, and corporate leaders to prioritize sustainability, we see a brighter future for future generations.
Watershed empowers companies around the world to take action on climate change by reducing their emissions. With intelligent analytics and industry-leading carbon data, Watershed customers have removed millions of tonnes of carbon from the Earth’s atmosphere—and we’re just getting started.
We are climate optimists and business pragmatists. We are building an economy where corporate sustainability delivers breakthrough business results. And, together with our customers and our partners, we are changing the story of climate change.

Watershed current
Our mission is to remove 500 megatonnes—equal to 1% of total global emissions—of carbon dioxide equivalent from Earth’s atmosphere every year by 2030. It’s an ambitious goal and a necessary one: we’re living in the critical decade for global climate action.
Through our customers, Watershed is now helping manage and reduce 360 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent—more than the total annual emissions of the UK. That’s a lot of decarbonization potential.
