Crafting a Culture Rooted in Values for Radical Climate Action

When asked, “Why do you want to work for UNDO?” every UNDO applicant says that they long to be part of a mission they believe in and a company that resonates with their personal values. Working for a mission-led climate company like UNDO is more than just having a job; it’s a deeply fulfilling journey towards positively impacting our planet.

Explore the mission and values behind our brand, detailing how we nurture a world-leading team of scientists, strategists, analysts, researchers, innovators, number crunchers and creative thinkers behind enhanced rock weathering. 

The Co-creation Process

At UNDO, our focus is on our values. But how did we choose them and what do they mean?

We authored our values by conducting a series of internal workshops, championed by individuals from various levels within the organisation, in a true display of a bottom-up approach. The goal was to construct a culture that resonates with the aspirations of the people living it daily. 

These workshops gave our leadership team insights into the organisation’s core nature, enabling them to give the necessary strategic direction. This collaborative process, bridging leadership and the team, led to a robust set of values that are organically driven by those who embody them every day.

The UNDO Values:

Pioneering Radical Climate Action

At UNDO, our role in tackling climate change is clear and well-defined. However, the journey to being a leading global ERW company requires flexibility, agility and a relentless drive to surpass our own achievements. In meeting with success, we aim even higher and push harder. We set ambitious targets for ourselves, whether it’s in exploring new territory, developing a new tool, formulating proposals or increasing our capacity.

We acknowledge there are going to be bumps along the road, but we consistently capture lessons and insights from our experiences, leading to collective learning and adaptability. Only by being brave and bold can our organisation radically pioneer a more positive future.

It’s More Than Business. It’s Our Planet

Our commitment to our stakeholders – farmers, mining partners, customers, investors, local communities and our environment – is core to everything we UNDO. We aim to maximise the impact of our work through a partnership model founded on trust and relationships.

UNDO prides itself on its internal company culture with a hands-on approach to collaborating with farmers, academic institutions and the local communities we work in. We encourage our team to partake in volunteering initiatives they care about by providing three days of paid leave each year. There is a reason why our recent employee engagement survey highlighted the success of our people-first approach, with 100% of UNDO’s team expressing pride in our mission-driven work.

Grounded in Science

Our approach is firmly rooted in science, ensuring that we create replicable and permanent carbon removal. Integrity, open communication and transparency remain central to how we do our work.

This is exemplified during our Town Halls every other month. Whether discussing who we should partner with, company direction or brand strategy, every UNDO team member has a voice that is respected and heard. We believe a healthy culture is achieved when everyone feels comfortable enough to admit mistakes, ask questions and express themselves across the organisation.

Extraordinary in All That We UNDO

UNDO leads the charge in enhanced rock weathering, setting high standards for our team members.

We’ve assembled a group of extraordinary individuals whose diverse perspectives elevate our collective strength. As part of our collective approach, we provide direction rather than mere instruction and hold each other accountable, always extending support. We embrace transformational leadership, emphasising coaching, training and development to inspire excellence.

Leading with Optimism

At UNDO, we strongly believe in our ability to make the world a better, more livable place. We confront challenges with optimism, infusing positivity into our goals, outlooks and language. Our leadership strategy sessions start by recognising our progress, to motivate reaching even more ambitious goals.

Hiring Aligned with Our Values

At UNDO, our commitment to values doesn’t stop at the workplace – it begins at the very first interaction with potential team members. Our hiring process is designed to ensure that every new addition to our team not only resonates with our mission but also feels empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.

In addition to incorporating culture-led discussion at every stage, we have a dedicated values interview as part of our hiring process, where candidates engage in a two-way conversation with at least two cross-functional peers. This stage is more than an interview; it’s an exploration of how our values can be lived in different, innovative ways. We look for individuals who can bring these values to life in their own unique manner while also thriving within the culture that makes UNDO special.

This approach allows us to maintain a cohesive yet dynamic team where every member feels a deep connection to our mission and is poised to contribute meaningfully to our shared goals. By focusing on values alignment from the outset, we ensure that every new team member is not only set up to thrive at UNDO but also sustains and contributes to our cultural evolution.

Our vision and mission shape our values

These values, in turn, underpin our culture. Ultimately, mission and culture are what make us Team UNDO. As we continue to trailblaze radical climate action, we will continue to nurture a workplace where each team member finds fulfilment, meaning and joy in their contribution to a more planet-friendly future.
