Leveraging technology for smarter solutions

ClimatePartner combines software that simplifies and scales processes with expert advice. They guide businesses on their path to net zero with solid data and practical solutions. Using internationally recognised standards such as the GHG Protocol, ClimatePartner supports companies in calculating Corporate Carbon Footprints (CCF) and Product Carbon Footprints (PCF). These calculations are carried out in ClimatePartner’s software, using ClimatePartner’s proprietary Emission Factor Database (EFDB).

Plastic Bank has developed a proprietary platform that digitally records plastic exchanges across the entire supply chain, from individual collectors to local processors. Partners can access this data through the Impact Hub audit trail, enabling transparent, traceable, and reportable social and environmental impact.
