Seasoned sustainability and climate finance leader to guide PUR’s next phase of growth.

PARIS, FRANCE and LONDON, UK - PUR (the “Company”), a pioneer in Nature-based Solutions, today announced the appointment of Dr. Daniel Klier as Chief Executive Officer, subject to regulatory approval. 

Founded nearly two decades ago, PUR partners with farming communities globally to deliver agroforestry, reforestation, and landscape restoration projects. The Company generates verified carbon reductions and carbon credits that help corporates reduce supply chain emissions through high-integrity insetting and climate contributions within and beyond their own value chains, while improving soil health, water resources, and long-term farm productivity. PUR is a recognized leader in resilient coffee and cocoa value chains, reforestation, mangrove restoration, and ecosystem conservation, delivering measurable benefits for ecosystems, agriculture, and farming communities.

Dr. Klier’s appointment marks the next phase of PUR’s development as the Company deepens partnerships with smallholder farmers, accelerates the development of natural capital, and strengthens engagement with corporates and investors seeking to reduce emissions and contribute meaningfully to climate action, biodiversity protection, and supply chain resilience. Dr. Klier served as Chief Executive Officer of South Pole and brings deep experience growing impact-driven businesses and working with global corporates, commodity producers, and investors.

"PUR has built a distinctive position at the intersection of climate, nature, and resilient supply chains. I look forward to working with the team to build on this strong foundation, deepen trusted partnerships, and scale solutions that deliver tangible outcomes for corporates, investors, and local communities."
