Winrock InternationalESG & Sustainability Jobs

Nonprofit developing agriculture, clean energy, and carbon market programs to reduce poverty and sustain natural resources worldwide

Winrock International is a nonprofit organization that works across the U.S. and in developing countries to address agricultural development, clean energy access, environmental conservation, and human rights. It designs and implements programs for governments, foundations, and communities - covering areas such as climate resilience, water security, nature-based solutions, and anti-trafficking.

Why it matters

Winrock's environment portfolio is directly tied to measurable climate outcomes. The organization operates ACR (American Carbon Registry), founded in 1996 as the first private voluntary greenhouse gas registry in the world. ACR issues carbon credits in both compliance and voluntary markets, making Winrock a significant player in GHG accounting, REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation), and renewable energy crediting. Staff roles span forest carbon methodology, GHG project development, and emissions reduction program management.

With offices in Little Rock and Arlington and projects spanning multiple continents, Winrock sits at the intersection of international development and carbon market infrastructure - making it a distinctive employer for professionals with backgrounds in forestry, GHG accounting, or climate finance.
