Livelihoods, founded in 2011 and headquartered in France, is a pioneering initiative in the intersection of Agriculture and Financial Services. The company is dedicated to building resilient communities, ecosystems, and businesses, turning climate ambition into tangible action.
With a team of 50 specialists and over 15 years of experience, Livelihoods operates across two key impact platforms. Within value chains, it aids companies in transitioning to regenerative sourcing through the Livelihoods Fund for Family Farming and custom programs. Beyond value chains, its three Livelihoods Carbon Funds implement nature-based solutions that restore degraded land, expand agroforestry, and improve energy access. These initiatives generate high-quality carbon credits certified by international standards such as Gold Standard or Verra.
Backed by 20 committed companies and led by Livelihoods Venture, a social business owned by its foundation, the company has launched 47 large-scale projects, resulting in 4.8 million tons of CO₂ reductions, the planting of 159 million trees, and improved living conditions for 2.4 million people across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
