We are a Public Benefit Corporation and a Foundation, helping bend the curve of biodiversity loss by giving the world the data, knowledge and infrastructure it needs to act.
We help responsible corporations manage their relationship with nature, staying ahead of nature-related regulations and nature-related business risks, by giving them access to a powerful AI-MRV platform and a curated network of scientists and field practitioners in the geographies where they operate and source from.
KEA works across EUDR compliance, No Net Loss and Net Gain for mining, environmental licensing for data centers, and nature risk for banking and finance.
We deliver at the speed and scale of a software platform, with the adaptability and personalization of a consulting firm.
KEA Network leadership has spent decades building Nature Technologies, researching Earth Science and helping some of the largest companies in the world act on their nature relations.
