Sylvera, a leading provider of carbon ratings, tools and data, today announces the recent senior hire of Aaron Tam. Tam joins as Product Director to lead Sylvera’s Market Data team and strengthen its data proposition for customers. 

It comes as Sylvera announces a strategic investment into its data capabilities, with the acquisition of the exclusive rights to a market-leading pricing dataset for the voluntary carbon market.

Sylvera already provides extensive project pricing data for clients, including historical pricing trends across vintages through several partnerships with external providers to enable customers to invest with confidence. Through the application of its proprietary modelling and machine learning technology to one of the most extensive datasets of carbon credit prices on the market, Sylvera will be able to provide even more comprehensive pricing data and richer insights for customers.

‍Allister Furey, CEO of Sylvera, said: “Data is the true foundation of the drive to net zero. The more informed businesses are, the better their decision-making will be. We have built a strong reputation for the quality of data and insight we provide, firstly for our ratings, and more recently for in-depth price and market insights. 

With the support of world-renowned investors, such as Fidelity Strategic Ventures, Salesforce and Balderton Capital, we are well-capitalised to build out the breadth of our coverage and insights for our client base in 2025. The appointment of Aaron and this acquisition are key milestones in achieving that ambition. 

Combining exceptional expertise with an unparalleled depth of data, we will be able to deliver richer pricing insights, train new models, and launch new products, supporting customers to successfully navigate every step of their carbon journey.”
