Our take
To combat the climate crisis, it is essential that businesses decarbonise their operations. But this can be difficult for those with complex supply chains, who must combine data from many disparate sources.
This is where carbmee steps in, supplying carbon management solutions for collecting, analysing and reporting complex emissions data. Its Environmental Intelligence System combines carbon accounting, product carbon footprints and supply chain emissions into one integrated system, centralising complex data streams.
It's a worthwhile undertaking, recognised by investors who have most recently contributed €20 million to help the company expand globally. This follows carbmee’s track record of tripling annual revenue for three consecutive years, with future plans including the enhancement of the platform with features such as AI reporting.
