Careers at Lestari Capital
Lestari Capital is a leader and innovator in the fast-growing field of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and Natural Climate (Carbon) Solutions.
With some of the world’s biggest companies as our clients, we are building platforms that channel investment into the conservation and restoration of South East Asia’s rainforest landscapes. We are a commercial business leading the development of a new asset class. By generating carbon certificates and other environmental performance outcomes, we are creating markets that value nature, climate and biodiversity, and integrate these into sustainable supply chains.
In March 2022, we launched a $1 billion fund called the Rimba Collective which invests in a portfolio of projects across South East Asia on behalf of leading companies in the Palm Oil supply chain. Our clients include Cargill, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Nestlé. Lestari’s role is similar to that of a fund manager, selecting, vetting, managing and reporting on the portfolio and its yield of Eco-System Service Outcomes.

Lestari Capital was founded in 2015 with a vision to create a world where financial markets value nature. Their mission is to build market platforms for natural capital, in order to allow investment to flow at scale into protecting nature. They are the creators of the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve, the largest REDD+ forest conservation and community livelihood programme in Indonesia. If you want to work somewhere that is truly pioneering in their mission, and making a real difference to the world, then Lestari Capital is the one for you. It's worth noting that they are a small team of 10, so you'll be exposed to a wide range of projects and have an impact from day one.
