Company mission
Our mission is to drive climate action through data and insight
Our take
Global warming and environmental damage is an issue faced by all. Therefore it is important for all businesses to be accountable and responsible for their carbon emissions.
The business model for most carbon accounting startups and consultancies involves getting hold of the emissions factors needed to translate business activities into an amount of carbon emitted, then putting it behind a paywall (either in the form of consultancy fees or subscription charges) for businesses to access it. Climatiq, however, believes this data should be free to access, in order to get as many businesses measuring — and managing — their carbon footprints as possible.
By aggregating this data and formatting it in a way that makes it easy to understand and compare, Climatiq’s database essentially serves as a layer of technical infrastructure that enables others to build bespoke applications on top, or use it in existing software. Climatiq says its Wikipedia-style climate database will always be free to access, but it does plan to charge bigger businesses for additional enterprise features.

Company values
- Global heating is borderless, so we must unite and cooperate to ensure a safe and viable future for people and the planet
- A clear understanding of how activities impact the climate is critical to making informed, effective decisions
- Transparent, comprehensive climate impact data will empower business, academia, and the public sector to collaborate in taking rapid, meaningful action against the crisis
- Tools and information should be affordable and accessible to everyone. While data and technology alone won’t solve the climate crisis, they’re essential to facilitating widespread action
- CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) emissions will influence decision-makers as much as price or quality, when choosing goods and services
- Sustainability is a competitive business advantage, both in the short- and long-term
- We default to action: every step that is informed by good data steers us in the right direction
