The seed of the company was planted in 2018 when Oliver Bolton , CEO and Cofounder of Earthly , read a staggering report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ). At the time , he was working as a producer for food and drink brands , but he was shocked by the IPCC ’ s warnings about what impact a 1.5 ° C increase in global temperatures would have on the planet , and he decided he needed to act .
Bolton said : “ The catalyst for me was imagining future conversations with my son as a teenager and him challenging me and saying , ‘ Your generation knew about the situation we ’ re in . Why didn ’ t you do more ?’”
