Case Study: Figma scales carbon removal investment and sustainability action with Watershed

How Figma turned sustainability passion into action

Figma, the technology company, grew a grassroots employee sustainability initiative into the Net Zero social impact group, but initially lacked a way to accurately measure its carbon footprint or make informed climate investments. To support its net zero goals, Figma partnered with Watershed and used the Watershed platform and Watershed Marketplace.

With Watershed, Figma began measuring emissions, purchasing high-quality carbon removals, and building a diversified carbon removal portfolio guided by expert support. The company increased its carbon credit investment by 50% in two years to $750,000, expanded into seven climate technologies, and began using emissions data to inform business decisions such as employee travel, showing how Watershed helped embed sustainability into operations.
