We believe that the well-being of our planet and the welfare of our communities are intrinsically connected.
At Brightly, we’re more than a brand; we're a movement, a force for good. Our essence is defined by our four pillars: Empathy, Integrity, Collaboration, and Transparency.
A Mission-Driven Approach
Our story begins with a profound realization of two pressing challenges: climate change and the heart-wrenching reality of food waste.
In the midst of plenty, millions go hungry while over 80+ billion pounds of food is left to waste away in landfills, emitting harmful methane and further endangering our fragile planet.
We think it’s a compelling paradox that calls for a heartfelt solution! Help us make an impact.
The Heart of the Issue
Our Solution
We harnessed the power of surplus food rescued by dedicated non-profit organizations, diverting it from landfills to nourish those in need.
Our high-integrity carbon offsets, crafted meticulously following rigorous scientific standards, serve as a bridge for organizations striving to reduce their carbon footprint, especially with elusive Scope 3 emissions.
The Impact of Brightly
We're not just numbers; we're hope, progress, and represent a brighter future.
Food waste, responsible for nearly 10% of all human-caused greenhouse gases, should be the catalyst for change, not a contributor to planetary decline.
Together, we shine brighter.

Chief Operating Officer
Jesse can most reliably be found in the kitchen, in the process of either making a huge mess or cleaning one up. This is a good analogy for his approach to business as well.

Director of Offset Operations
Jules loves three things. Taking care of cats, throwing frisbees, and trying to solve the existential threat that is climate change. While one of those may sound harder than the others, I can assure you that taking care of cats isn’t that hard once you get the hang of it.
Brightly is where sustainability meets compassion, where purpose fuels progress—illuminating the path to a brighter, more equitable world.
