INSPIRATION FROM THE FIELD TO THE OFFICE

A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN YOUR BUSINESS AND OUR PLANET

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN MOTION Since our founding more than four decades ago, Earthwatch has inspired, elevated, and helped its business partners focus on employee growth and community investment. One of our goals as a nonprofit organization has always been to harness the power of citizen science to bring the inspiration of scientific discovery from the field back to your office.

On an Earthwatch expedition, your employees join environmental research projects alongside leading scientists around the world. Whether tracking the migration of birds, studying the health of our forests, or exploring life beneath our vast oceans, your employees return to the office inspired. By supporting Earthwatch expeditions, you’ll strengthen your employees’ professional and leadership skills, widen your recognition as a responsible company, and build lasting community relationships all while helping make the world a better place.

Earthwatch creates a true partnership with your company. Together, we’ll address the needs of our planet and your company for generations to come. We can’t wait to work with you.
