Company mission
To empower hundreds of millions of consumers and businesses world-wide to become conscious consumers by taking action to measure, reduce and compensate for their impact on the world.
86% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
As the world becomes more climate aware, greater emphasis is being placed on climate responsibility at both an individual and collective level. Yet there are two big hurdles to progress. For individuals, measuring and altering their impact on the climate is difficult because they lack the data to make meaningful decisions. Plus, where individuals try to make more sustainable buying decisions, a lack of transparency from corporations impedes their ability to do so effectively.
This is where Cogo comes in. It provides sustainability solutions that help businesses and consumers measure, improve and compensate their impact on people and the planet. The company's various products are focused on enabling consumers to track the carbon emission factor associated with their spending, enabling them to make data-driven choices which positively impact the environment.
In the market, early demand has proven to be extremely high: Cogo has already secured major partnerships with the likes of NatWest, Santander and Experian. It looks set to push further towards its goal of creating real change for the better. And, in a market where demand for such services has never been higher, it could well be one-to-watch.
