Our Values at Work.
At Spades, our values are more than words—they shape how we operate, collaborate, and deliver impact at scale. Like healthy soil supporting resilient growth, our culture is rooted in nine core principles:
Love. Hope. Justice.
Courage. Trueness. Creativity.
Impact. Results. Accountability.
These principles guide decisions, drive innovation, and define how we work—with one another, with our partners, and in the landscapes we restore. They help us stay focused when challenges arise and ensure we remain accountable—to our mission, to each other, and to those we serve.
We expect to be measured by the outcomes we deliver—and the integrity with which we deliver them.
Meet the leaders who live these values every day here.
Careers at Spades.
At Spades, we harness the Power of Trees™ to restore degraded landscapes, drive rural economic growth, and deliver long-term value for communities, governments, and investors. As land conditions shift across regions and sectors, food systems, livelihoods, and natural infrastructure are increasingly at risk. Spades provides science-backed, biotechnology-enabled solutions to accelerate reforestation and landscape recovery at scale.
Shared Values, Scalable Vision
