Information on the company

Our client is one of the fastest-growing climate FinTechs in Europe and we are looking for someone who will continue that growth across North America. The company was founded upon the belief that actionable, high-quality carbon emissions data wasn’t accessible to most businesses and individuals. Being unable to measure and reduce those carbon emissions isn’t just an environmental question anymore, it’s a financial one too. Various regulations and legislative changes make it increasingly important for both consumers and businesses to understand how they can reduce their emissions (and with that, also reduce financial risk).

The two founders developed an API toolkit that measures the carbon footprint of any purchase, with a vision that consumers and companies should get access to this data at a low cost (or no cost) to be able to proactively reduce their emissions.

Information empowers action.
