Super energized
Our team is international, young, super energized and very talented.
We want to deliver as fast as possible quality projects. Our main if not only driver is to care for the planet in a fair and economically sustainable way.
#3
Action-oriented
We have 6 offices, we are on the ground. We are humbly trying to reverse the trajectory by bringing corporate high-perfomers to the nature space.
We are action-oriented and provide pragmatic solutions to run the last mile and deliver!
#4
Forward-looking
We have secured a first series of financing. The carbon credits of our projects are not by design pre-sold.
We aim at supporting the local projects holders on the short-mid term, always targeting that they reach full autonomy in time.
Our #1 strength
We are committed to the common good.
Race to net zero emission is not a race against each other, but a race against time. If we do not all cross the finishing line, we all lose. We don't see our peers as competitors but as allies.
We offer accurate and diversified carbon credits.
At hummingbirds, we ensure that any carbon credits’ purchasers can make trustworthy climate claims when using our carbon credits, safeguarding them from reputational risk through verified, high-integrity credits.
We offer a broad portfolio of carbon credits across different geographies and methodologies to meet a wide range of preferences and budgets.
We design NbS projects with a holistic approach.
In the recent years, thanks to massive international collaboration and scientific research, the world has become aware of the disbalanced carbon cycle coming from human activities, resulting in increasing levels of green house gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, responsible for climate change.
Beyond carbon, there are many aspects of the planet equation that must absolutely be adressed in our projects to provide fair and resilient solutions for the living. That's why we have a very strong focus on our projects impacts and co-benefits that lay below the symbolic iceberg.

The tale of the hummingbird
The story of the hummingbird is about this huge forest being consumed by a fire. All the animals in the forest come out, are transfixed as they watch the forest burning and feel very overwhelmed, powerless, except this little hummingbird. It says, ‘I’m going to do something about the fire!’ So it flies to the nearest stream and takes a drop of water. It puts it on the fire, and goes up and down, up and down, up and down, as fast as it can. In the meantime, all the other animals, much bigger animals like the elephant with a big trunk that could bring much more water, are standing there helpless. And they ask the little hummingbird, ‘What do you think you can do? You are too little. This fire is too big. Your wings are too little, and your beak is so small that you can only bring a small drop of water at a time.’ But as they continue to discourage it, it turns to them without wasting any time and it tells them, ‘I am doing my part.’
We should always be like a hummingbird. You might think you are insignificant, but you certainly don’t want to be like the animals watching the planet going down the drain. Let’s all do our part!
Origin of the tale is debated, but it became known notably thanks to Kenyan environmental activist, women’s rights advocate, and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Professor Wangari Maathai and French writer, farmer, and environmentalist Pierre Rabhi.
