About Earthly
Earthly helps organisations manage nature-related risk and meet compliance requirements - investing in high-integrity, science-backed, nature-based projects that remove carbon, strengthen biodiversity, and improve communities' livelihoods.
Who are Earthly?
We are an experienced team of entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists, all inspired by a vision of a planet where businesses work in partnership with nature, not against it. Together we’re leading a global movement among business - to remove carbon, restore nature and support local communities.
We identify and support the world's most impactful nature-based projects through our registry-agnostic assessment - Keystone 3.0 - that fewer than 9% of assessed projects pass.
What matters to us
Our priorities
Nature-based quality
We work exclusively with projects around the world that restore nature and create multiple co-benefits for society and wildlife, as well as removing carbon.
Science-backed data
All Earthly projects go through our multi-layer assessment framework – approved by an independent Scientific Board of Advisors and verified by satellite.
Maximum engagement
Earthly customers use a personalised Customer Hub and impact-tracking dashboard to track progress, demonstrate impact, and share auditable evidence with stakeholders.

){kind=icon}
Oliver Bolton is the co-founder and CEO of Earthly. As a ClimateTech entrepreneur, Olly is passionate about reversing climate breakdown, restoring our planet, and leaving a better Earth for future generations.
Olly previously launched Europe's first B Corp drinks company, Waterbomb, and co-founded the UK's leading subscription nutrition platform VITL.com.

Co-founder & CCO
Lorenzo Curci
Lorenzo Curci is the co-founder and CCO of Earthly. Prior to starting Earthly, Lorenzo managed a team of 30 at Credit Suisse within the Equity Derivatives division. The allure of entrepreneurial life, however, was too strong and in 2013, he started Huez, a technical cycling brand, with the aim of getting people out of cars and onto bikes.
In 2018, Lorenzo felt more could be done to address climate change and so, alongside Olly, he founded Earthly with a mission to help businesses invest in high-quality nature-based solutions.
