Our Story


South Pole was formed in 2006 by a small group of idealistic entrepreneurs. Fighting climate change back then was an uphill battle - people could not see it, could not feel it, and didn’t believe it was real.

  • What could be easier to sell than climate action?!

    Tara

    Business Development Manager, Melbourne

  • I feel good about what I'm doing every day. I am excited to advise companies on how they can best set or meet their climate targets. The carbon market is developing quickly and it feels like there are always areas to learn and grow into. It is exciting and surprising to see which companies are leading the way in sustainability in their industry.

    Colin

    Business Development Manager, New York City

  • Working as a KAM at South Pole is a constant opportunity to foster climate action in the private sector. This requires a constant learning as things in the sustainability industry evolve rapidly; good time management and a tireless spirit to collaborate on climate action.

    Jorge

    Key Account Manager, Melbourne

  • Working in the KAM/BD team, you are the first face a client sees when they contact South Pole. As South Pole supports clients in a variety of sectors, KAMs gain deep insights into different industries and business models while working on a wide range of topics such as carbon credits, EACs or climate strategies.

About South Pole


Our story began in Zurich, with 5 friends* in 2002. They had a belief and a vision to shape and change the future of the world through climate empowerment, education and projects with their non-profit organisation; MyClimate. These ‘social entrepreneurs’ went on to pioneer climate change with the introduction of South Pole in 2006*. More than 20 years on, with the support of some of the most passionate and talented entrepreneurs around them, who are empowered to all play their part and with their founding belief in aligning purpose with passion, people and profit, they have created South Pole, an organisation that has gone onto positively impact the lives of over 20 million people across the world through its projects, saving over 20,000 km2 of forests from deforestation.
