We’re Sust Global
Meet the scientists, engineers, data specialists and operators transforming climate intelligence
When our founders met on a panel called “Driving sustainable solutions in an era of data abundance,” they knew they’d found the way they wanted to drive change.
At Sust Global, we believe that real change happens when people with passion and integrity work together for something larger than themselves.
Headquartered in San Francisco, the Sust Global team comes from all across the globe, with experience working at leading geospatial technology companies (Planet Labs, Orbital Insight) and climate data providers (Trucost, Tomorrow, Moody’s, 427). Our academic backgrounds include PhDs, MBAs and MScs from the world’s leading institutions.
