Inspiring stories from our Climeworkers

Our mission is to enable one billion people to take climate action by removing CO₂ from the air. Our Climeworks Pioneers dare to reclaim control of our climate future by taking meaningful action, now.

The people of Climeworks, past and present and that we call ‘Climeworkers’, all share a clear determination and strong drive to make a difference and maximize their impact, in their personal life and with their work.

Can any one person make a difference? The answer is yes. Our collective impact increases with every individual that chooses to reduce their carbon footprint and then remove it. That's why it's so important we drive the change we need, together.

Together, let's drive the change we need.

Climeworkers in action

We are so lucky to count among us passionate and driven people. The unique journeys, personalities and talents of Climeworkers are a key element of the company’s development to date and its culture.

Fabian, Projects & Communications Manager

Fabian from the U.S.

Carbon footprint: 7.5 tons CO₂ per year

Climate action plan: I avoid meat and always look for ways to live more sustainably.

Top tip: I like to travel by train around Europe — it helps keep my emissions in check!

My struggle: I live in Switzerland, so visiting family in the U.S. requires flights. I have to compensate for this in other ways.

Jeanne, Communications Manager

Jeanne from France

Carbon footprint: 3.64 tons CO₂ per year

Climate action plan: I choose trains over flights. They're ideal for reading and admiring the landscape.

Top tip: I'm always on my bike, come rain or shine. There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment!

My struggle: I'm cautious about fast fashion, but I love clothes and buy a few new things each season.

Climeworks' CIO, Valentijn Bonger

Valentijn from Switzerland

Carbon footprint: 7.79 tons CO₂ per year

Climate action plan: I plan to travel less by air and use public transport or my hybrid car/e-bike instead.

Top tip: Be conscientious and committed to sustainability (every action counts).

My struggle: I've found it difficult to give up meat products.
