When you work for a company where its mission matches yours, the work environment becomes exciting! The international culture, aligned purpose, and sense of teamwork (even though each member is quite far across the globe) is unique.

The work we do with community-based projects makes South Pole special. REDD+ projects can have a lot of positive impacts if a company like South Pole identifies and mitigates the risks the projects can have. In our work in the Vaupés YUTUCU project, we conduct all of our activities in accordance with best practices and aligned with the South Pole mission.

What makes us unique
At South Pole, we are first and foremost a purpose-driven Company. People join us because they believe in our mission and want to be part of a community that fights together for our shared values and beliefs. But that is not the only reason why working at South Pole is such a rewarding experience.
- We know that our vision to help create a greener world is both bold and challenging. To achieve it, we settle for nothing less than the absolute best. We form a Community that is stronger than the sum of its parts.
- Entrepreneurial at heart. It’s not just our founders who are entrepreneurs. We actively promote an innovative mindset at all levels of the organisation, where each and every employee is encouraged to challenge the status quo and empowered to make decisions.
- Growing employees in a growing company. With a team of smart, passionate and engaged colleagues, as well as increasing demand from our clients, opportunities to learn, develop our skills and grow our careers are endless.
- All for one, and one for all! Above all other things, what truly drives our dedication and commitment to our purpose is our colleagues. We learn from each other and grow together. Because that is who Penguins are.

Health & Wellbeing
We believe that health is central to happiness. We organise many wellbeing activities such as yoga, meditation sessions, sports groups, healthy snacks, active breaks, etc. -
Work-life balance
From flexible working hours to flexible workplace (home office), with above-average vacation allowances, we strive to make the work and family life puzzle an easy one for our employees. -
We practice what we preach
From Vegan Days to plastic-free lunches, off-setting our own Company emissions and countless other initiatives, we fully live our values and lead by example on a daily basis. -
Company outings and events
It is not only hard work, we also have lots of fun! We frequently get together to celebrate our successes, do activities together and get to know each other better
From Ambition to Action
Over the years, our mission to catalyze climate action has attracted some of the best talent around the world. In 2006, a small group of passionate and engaged university graduates and climate activists in Zurich, Switzerland, stepped up to the challenge and led the way. Today, South Pole has become a thriving Company of over 900 employees worldwide in 36 offices across six continents.
We act today for a better tomorrow
At South Pole, we believe in Climate Action as a means to achieve a sustainable planet. But financing the goals of the Paris climate agreement calls for a fundamental shift in the global economy. Driven by our love for the planet Earth and the life that inhabits it, we fight day in day out to help businesses, governments and communities make climate action the new normal. To do so, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards, driven by a set of core values that guide us in everything we do. Because climate and human development are two sides of the same coin.
