Founders storyCarbon credits aren’t working the way they should.They’re hard to understand, hard to trust, and often disconnected from what buyers and projects actually need. Rainbow aims to change that—starting from first principles.In 2021, we launched Rainbow out of a shared interest in engineered solutions to remove or avoid CO₂. We set out to answer a core question: what would it take to help these solutions scale?That journey led us to the voluntary carbon market—a system that, while essential, was falling short. As we dug deeper, it became clear that enabling real impact meant rethinking how credits are created, verified, and connected to buyer strategies.Rainbow was built to make the carbon credit market more transparent, technically rigorous, and aligned with both project realities and market demand.We work closely with project developers and field teams to ensure every credit reflects real-world impact.Now a growing team of engineers, scientists, and market experts, Rainbow became one of just 13 ICROA-endorsed crediting bodies globally in 2024—a milestone that reflects our commitment to trust, quality, and impact at scale.Principles01Engineered for impactWe're united by our collective desire to create a sustainable society. We also believe real impact takes both relevant climate solutions and viable business models.02Led by science and pragmatismWe uphold scientific excellence without losing sight of impact. Our methodology is rigorous, grounded in what works, and balances depth of research with pragmatic application.03Resilient and motivatedChallenging a market is tough, and so are we. We’re a team of doers, solving problems hands-on, staying steady through setbacks, and pushing forward with optimism, autonomy, and grit.04Candid and caringWe’re open, inclusive, and human. Ours is a culture of curiosity and respect, where people support one another, challenge ideas thoughtfully, and show up as their full selves.01Engineered for impactWe're united by our collective desire to create a sustainable society.
