Over the last year, Running Tide has worked to develop and formalize the framework through which we understand our carbon removal system’s potential ecological and environmental impact, develop internal standards, and identify open questions that must be answered to refine our assessments. As part of our commitment to transparency, we are sharing the first step of this ecological and environmental framework and process: a catalog of the environmental exposures that may result from our carbon removal work.

As a leading carbon removal practitioner, Running Tide understands firsthand the importance of clear guidelines that inform decision-making and action when interacting with nature. Running Tide is proud to share our Governance Principles for Responsible Climate Intervention, which are structured to ensure that our work has the intended positive impact on ocean health and the communities in which we operate.

Our Responsible Sourcing Strategy provides guardrails for Running Tide – and our suppliers – as we source materials for our carbon removal work and implement carbon negative supply chains. We believe that thoughtful sourcing decisions can catalyze positive change across industries and communities.
