Digital tools for the planet's hardest problems
Environmental work produces extraordinary information, and most of it never reaches the people who could act on it, because it stays locked in spreadsheets, scientific papers, and systems that only a specialist can use. We build the tools that bridge that gap, which means websites, data platforms and applications that turn complex environmental work into something researchers, policymakers and the public can genuinely use.
We speak your language
We work specifically with organisations aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and a large part of our work is environmental, which means we do not need the basics explained to us. We understand geospatial data, the real difference between communicating to scientists and communicating to the public, and the particular challenge of making something rigorous that is also accessible. It also means we share the motivation, because we build on low-carbon infrastructure and measure the footprint of what we make, on the principle that a tool built to fight climate change should not quietly add to the problem.
What we build
We build data platforms that make complex environmental data usable, by mapping, querying and visualising information that would otherwise sit unread. We build public-facing sites that translate research into something the public can engage with without dumbing it down. We build monitoring and tracking tools for measuring progress against environmental goals, emissions or conservation outcomes. And we build programme tools that run the operational side of environmental projects, often working with data collected in the field.
Real work, on real problems
The Blue Carbon Geonode is a geospatial platform mapping the world's blue carbon ecosystems, the mangroves, seagrasses and salt marshes that store vast amounts of carbon, and it makes that data usable for researchers and policymakers. Our work with GRID-Arendal on Debunking Plastic Myths turned environmental research into clear public communication alongside a UN-partnered environmental centre. The Net Positive Life App helps individuals understand and reduce their environmental footprint, and the Supply Chain Net Zero Tool helps organisations measure and cut emissions across their supply chains.
Let's build something that matters
If you are working on climate, conservation or environmental change and you have a digital problem, whether that is getting your data used, reaching the public, or running a programme, tell us about it.
