For both investors and startups, the traditional framework for assessing environmental impact has been rooted in the measurement of direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, known as Scope 1,2 and 3.
However, the promising addition of Scope 4, or “avoided emissions”, is reshaping our understanding of a company’s environmental impact.
Scope 4 goes beyond the emissions produced by a company’s operations and indirect emissions from its value chain (Scope 1,2,and 3) to account for the emissions saved by its products or services in the market (Scope 4).
Sustainability claims aren’t enough — comparative data is essential. That’s why we built ClimatePoint. Through impact assessments and dynamic models, we quantify your sustainable advantage and project your emissions impact globally.
Carbon accounting alone won’t get us to net zero. To drive real change, we analyze the entire value chain, validate avoided emissions, and forecast gigaton-scale impact.
Go beyond reporting — prove your impact and scale your vision.
At ClimatePoint, climate impact drives every investment. That’s why we start our Due Diligence with a rigorous impact analysis using the ClimatePoint Impact Methodology. If a company fails to show real impact, we move on. But when it meets our investment criteria, we allocate funds — and that’s just the beginning.
The Two Biggest Startup Challenges:
Our approach solves both: we fund growth and connect startups to our corporate network, helping them secure revenue.
We also back the most promising ones with follow-on investments, ensuring stronger exits and __better financial returns__for our investors.
New solutions for a lower climate footprint in transport, travel and logistics. Within this vertical you will find companies working on how we can transport people and goods in a more carbon neutral manner, allowing for a sustainable way of travel in the future.
Food and food-production are one of our greatest challenges and are currently accounting for 13% of global greenhouse gas emissions. ClimatePoint believes there exist significant decarbonization and value creation opportunities across the entire agriculture value chain.
Batteries, hydrogen and thermal solutions are an integral part of tomorrows energy mix and crucial to the decarbonization of our climate. That's why this vertical seek to find technologies working for lower emissions within use, transportation, storage and production of energy.
A linear economy (take, make, use, dispose, pollute) is both unsustainable and inefficient. We seek to fund companies aiming to accelerate the transition into a circular economy and how we all can better captivate the resources used today.
As the effects of the climate crisis starts affecting our daily lives, adapting to a new climate is vital. How can we adapt to increased flooding, storms, and drought, and how can we mitigate the effects of starvation, land use and wildfires? This vertical invests in the new solutions.
Many emission-free technologies already exist, but in some parts of the world they yet to been implemented. In this vertical we focus on scale-up of renewable solutions in developing and growing economies.
The construction industry is in great need of new solutions across its’ value chain. New materials that enable lower energy usage, fewer resources, less surplus materials, and new methods for manufacturing. This may include everything from new cement, 3D printing houses – or just a new way of working and living.
Life under and above the ocean are a central part of the Sustainable Development Goals, and an integral part of our climate and nature going forward. ClimatePoint Maritime focuses on solutions within the maritime industry, both on and below the water line.
