Terraformation Named on TIME’s America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025 List
Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi (March 31, 2025) – Terraformation has been included on TIME’s list of America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025. This prestigious award is presented by TIME and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on March 25 2025, and can be viewed on TIME’s website.
Terraformation is a native forest restoration company on a mission to rapidly scale up a nature-based climate solution which offers the potential to store over 30% of the world’s excess carbon. Its forward-thinking business model engages local communities as key stewards and stakeholders, and provides the training and technology needed to create high-quality, biodiverse forestry projects.
“We are honored to be recognized by TIME ,” said Yishan Wong, the founder and CEO of Terraformation. “It’s incredible to be included on such a well-researched and vetted list of qualifying companies, all with impressive contributions toward using technology to save and improve our planet. Thanks so much to my team at Terraformation for the work that got us here.”
Terraformation sources reforestation projects through its Seed to Carbon Forest Accelerator and provides software tools, carbon market expertise, and access to capital. Using its proprietary Terraware software, Terraformation tracks the progress of each project from the nursery stage to full canopy development. This ensures transparency and allows for continuous monitoring and reporting on impact. Terraware is an open source software made available to forest developers anywhere in the world.
The recognition for Terraformation from Statistia and TIME resulted from a process that looked at companies across the green technology space, measuring the impact they are making on the world as well as their underlying business strengths. Statista gathered and scrutinized data from over 4,300 companies, and awarded the top 250 based on three evaluation criteria:
- Positive environmental impact: The scoring is based on impact data such as the quality and impact of their product/service portfolio, as well as the expertise of their leadership team provided by HolonIQ
- Innovation drive: The scoring is based on the Patent Asset Index featured in LexisNexis® Intellectual Property Solutions
- Financial strength: Based on the analysis of financial data points e.g., revenue, employee or funding information
In support of the research, Statista gathered data from company applications, annual reports, media monitoring, and other public sources. Additionally, Statista worked with specialized data partners HolonIQ and LexisNexis® Intellectual Property Solutions to further strengthen the data quality.
Our project teams have planted over one million biodiverse and native trees, stored 131 million seeds, supported 19 forestry projects, and created over 700 jobs through reforestation efforts worldwide.
Our innovative approach not only equips local forestry teams with training, technology, and access to capital, but also empowers businesses to be a part of the solution to climate change. By investing in our projects, businesses can directly address climate change, offset carbon emissions, meet net zero commitments, and enhance corporate sustainability initiatives.
Founded in 2020, Terraformation’s mission-driven global team, which includes experts in forest science, carbon markets, operations management, and business development, demonstrates how diverse backgrounds drive innovation and create significant impact.
