What we do at Revalue and why

Revalue is obsessed with one of the planet’s most critical but complex challenges: seeing nature regenerated at planetary scale.

Our mission: to design the most cutting-edge and trusted nature credits for our planet.

Solving this requires a blend of deep experience and out-of-the-box approaches. Therefore, we are bringing together a world-class team from multiple disciplines to create the unique DNA required to reimagine nature credits.

We’ve built a team of exceptional forest scientists, ecologists and conservationist, working closely with teams of machine learning and software engineers, business and marketing to tackle some of the most complex problems in nature conservation and restoration.

We are in this together for nature.

Revalue might be for you if

  • You understand the urgency of the climate challenge at hand and want to beat the clock
  • You care deeply about nature
  • You love being outside of your comfort zone
  • You want to grow and perform at a high level in order to make meaningful breakthroughs for nature
  • You love a challenge - the harder it gets, the more excited you are
  • You want to be surrounded by like-minded people who are sharing the journey with you

Revalue might not be for you if

  • You prefer easy tasks and predictable routines. Solving unsolved problems means embracing ambiguity and frequent change.
  • You like to stay in your comfort zone. We're constantly tested by new challenges and need to adapt and act swiftly. If you prefer to stick to your lane, then this isn't the environment for you.
  • You're not passionate about our mission and vision. Nature is our #1 priority, ahead of fancy perks and benefits.
  • You're mainly interested in working remotely. There are easier remote jobs that might suit you better.
