Canopy is a nimble, fast-paced, results-driven conservation organization with a strong track record of success. We know that our planet is under stress and believe it’s time for change. We think 800 year-old trees don’t need to be used to make packaging, t-shirts or junk mail – and we’re committed to doing all that we can to keep them standing and develop smarter solutions. We love chocolate and playing charades. Working hard is in our DNA – as is having fun and being creative. Pragmatic and audacious, we are driven by a desire to produce results that are at a scale proportional to the environmental problems we’re grappling with.
