Corporations are steadily making greater efforts to address their carbon footprint, and investment into sustainability focused companies is reaching new heights. Indeed, investment into ESG funds doubled from 2021 to 2022, while global sustainable investment is up around 70% since 2014.
Clarasight (previously Climate Club) has entered the space with a platform that engages employees in carbon emissions reduction, or as the startup puts its, “embeds sustainability into the employee experience”, by helping track their emissions through business travel and remote work.
It’s a clever idea, and the company’s timing is excellent, especially considering that many polls now show that around 70% of employees want to work for sustainable companies, while it’s a deal breaker for around 25%.
Clarasight's emergence from stealth in 2022 was no quiet event either. CEO Adam Braun is a best-selling author and celebrated non-profit leader, while the company’s customer base already includes Meta, Lyft, and Bain & Company made sure of this. With three rounds of seed funding already behind it, Climate Club will continue to onboard big-name customers.
