Pinwheel named Europe's fastest-growing carbon and nature company in the Sifted 250

Placing 77th in Sifted's annual ranking of Europe's fastest-growing startups and scale-ups, Pinwheel ranks highest of any carbon and nature company on the list.
Pinwheel has been named in the Sifted 250, the annual ranking of Europe's fastest-growing startups and scale-ups. We placed 77th, making us the fastest-growing carbon and nature company in Europe on the list.
That growth says as much about the market as it does about us. Businesses are moving away from buying credits to tick a box. They want climate and nature strategies that earn their place in the wider business plan.
Over the last year, we've worked with some of the world's most progressive and iconic businesses, supporting them at every stage of a beyond value chain strategy. Our focus is on strategies that serve wider company objectives, built on high-integrity portfolios, often complex ones, that deliver a clear commercial return.
Increasingly, that means bringing carbon and nature together. A well-chosen, forward-looking portfolio can meet several objectives at once, so each investment delivers more.
This thinking is shaping the wider conversation too. Robert Cheesewright, Chief Impact Officer, Pinwheel, recently contributed to Gold Standard's report Ongoing Emissions: Taking Responsibility, on building progressive and innovative climate portfolios.

Thank you to our clients, partners and team for making this possible.
