Stuart Leckie 
Global Climate Programme Lead
Capgemini

Stuart leads Capgemini’s programme overseeing the group’s investment in high quality nature and climate solutions to abate and remove carbon from beyond their own value chain, helping towards a ‘global net zero’. Whilst Capgemini’s main focus is on decarbonizing their business, with a 90% carbon reduction target by 2040 vs 2019, recognizing the problem of atmospheric carbon and the urgency to address this, they are also investing in a portfolio of projects that will generate high‑quality carbon credits that have a positive impact for the planet and deliver wider social and environmental co‑benefits. The broad portfolio includes both direct purchases and investments as well as through collaboration including purchases with the Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance (LEAF) Coalition, through investments in funds including the Mirova Climate Fund for Nature and collaborating through the First Movers Coalition for carbon removal, committing to contract at least 50,000 tons or $25m of durable and scalable carbon dioxide removals by the end of 2030. Stuart is involved in every aspect from defining the approach,  planning & sourcing to project delivery, ensuring that the projects invested in are high integrity with multiple environmental and social benefits. 

Elias has a PhD in biochar systems analysis with a focus on climate change and environmental impacts (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, 2022). More recently, he conducted academic research on biochar persistence (SLU Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 2023) and co-authored chapters of the book, Biochar for Environmental Management (3rd Edition, 2024). At Puro.Earth, Elias contributes to the development of the Standard and its methodologies, as well as the development of certification operations.
