Our story
Klimate was founded on the realisation that a lot of good money is being wasted on bad offsets. This is wasteful at best, and greenwashing at worst.
We made it our mission to help companies do better, when they do good.
We are a small team of professionals dedicated to making a dent in the climate challenge. We each have our own specialities, but are all motivated by the same thing thing: Using business and technology to make a positive impact on reducing climate change.
Mission
We empower responsible companies to achieve Net Zero and accelerate Carbon Removal technologies
