Our values
At the Integrity Council, we promote a positive, collaborative culture and are committed to building an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. We know that achieving our mission of a net zero transition is not possible without fostering a work environment in which colleagues from all backgrounds can thrive.
Developed with input from hundreds of organisations throughout the carbon markets, the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) provide a credible and rigorous means of identifying high-integrity carbon credits that create real, verifiable climate impact, based on the latest science and best practice.
Why we might not be the right choice for you
We want people to thrive at ICVCM, so it’s important to be honest about what working here is — and isn’t — like. We may not be right for you if:
You prefer working in an office environment
We are a fully remote, global organisation, and may only see each other in person once a year. Strong communication, trust and collaboration are essential.
You value predictability and clearly defined boundaries
Our work moves quickly, and priorities can change. We need people who are comfortable adapting, working flexibly and occasionally stepping outside their core responsibilities.
You are primarily motivated by individual recognition
While we value individual contributions, our impact depends on teamwork and collective effort rather than personal visibility.
You are looking for a guaranteed, linear career path
As a small organisation, we can’t promise progression for everyone. We support growth and development where possible, but opportunities may look different to those in larger institutions.
The application process
Please see our job opportunities section for the latest roles at ICVCM.
We aim to keep candidates informed throughout the process and to provide timely updates wherever possible.
- Apply via our job portal
