<aside> 🌎 Isometric is the world’s most trusted carbon registry.
</aside>
Our mission is to build the foundation of trust required for the carbon removal industry to scale responsibly and fast.
The planet is heating up fast. To avoid a climate catastrophe and keep temperature increases to less than 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, we need to aggressively decarbonize our economy and work to remove vast amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.
Many members of the public understandably think things are in hand. There is an established infrastructure for buying and selling carbon credits. On the back of this, large companies claim to be ‘carbon neutral’. However, it’s less well known that climate scientists think that traditional carbon offsets serve next to no useful purpose.
For instance, anyone buying a carbon offset today has a pretty big chance of purchasing a credit that doesn’t actually remove any CO₂ from the atmosphere, but instead allegedly avoids deforestation or reduces future emissions by switching to green energy—something that should, and often would, have happened regardless of the carbon offset sale.
Traditional carbon offsets—and the complex infrastructures that exist around them—are simply not contributing to solving climate change.
So, what real solutions exist?
The science is clear that there’s now a burgeoning set of companies building technologies designed to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it.
Isometric exists to confirm that the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) claims made by those companies are true. Scientifically rigorous verification will introduce trust into the nascent market for CDR. High integrity markets can scale faster and more sustainably for the long term.
Isometric acts as a regulator in the voluntary carbon markets (VCM). We confirm whether carbon removal actually happened and—if so—we issue high quality Isometric credits.

The Isometric Registry is unique in its focus on radical transparency of removal data. The registry only surfaces credits for verified, delivered tonnes. All data, calculations and evidence associated with Isometric credits are publicly available. We provide buyers with a well-rounded picture of whether their purchases are being delivered successfully or not.

Isometric Certify is the fastest, easiest and most rigorous way to verify carbon removal across all pathways, and is what enables monthly verification and the smooth processing of complex scientific datasets and calculations.
<aside> 💯 We don’t have “company values,” which we consider to be personal. Values relate to beliefs rather than behaviors.
Instead, we focus on “operating principles.” These are concrete, actionable and more relevant to the work we do. It’s not what most other companies do—but you’ve got to be odd to be number one.

Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is critical. The world can’t wait for the product we’re building. We have to move fast.
Tackling such a momentous challenge isn’t easy, but we hold that optimism is self-fulfilling. So our team exudes positivity, persistence, and resilience. We ask ‘How can it be done?’ over ‘Can it be done?’.
We have relentlessly high standards for our work and for the rigorous science that upholds it. All our actions are grounded in first principles thinking and emotional control.
Before jumping into any task, we first define the intended result. We gather and analyze available data, uncover bad assumptions, make hypotheses about how the desired outcome might be achieved—and then run experiments to complete the loop.
The best communicators always have an edge. So we’re intentional about our writing, and work to keep it clear, engaging, and thorough. We’re also disciplined about tooling, information architecture, and documentation.
We think that frank communication leads to better decision-making. We trust each other to be direct and offer sufficient context—and we expect a high level of integrity as a result.
We work together, in whatever configuration is required, to get the job done. Job titles and remits are so much less important than assembling the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
During the hiring process we want you to learn as much as possible about us and what it would be like to work with us.
We optimize for moving quickly—aiming for an end-to-end process of around four weeks. We are committed to giving useful and actionable feedback regardless of whether the process results in an offer. And we won’t create artificial deadlines to trick you into accepting.
Please also let us know if there’s anything we can do to make the process work for you. We want you to have the best possible opportunity to show us what you can do - so if there are adjustments that you know will help make that happen, please say so.
