Bringing Credibility to climate action

To stay within 1.5 degrees of warming, our carbon emissions need to reach net zero by 2050. This means a reduction of roughly 7% per year. Climate action needs to scale and be trusted – it’s clear we’ve got serious work to do!

None of our impact would be possible without the dedication and support of our partners. We’re proudly supported by investments from Partech, Hartree Partners, Citizen Capital, Innovacom and Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund.

We received seed capital from Blue Orchard, 1to4 Foundation and the Gold Standard Foundation, who maintain an ownership stake in the company, and from WWF, who were a seed investor and exited in 2023.

We have also received grants from the Luxemburg Government and EIT Climate-KIC.
