The company provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to empower organizations to accurately measure, manage, and ultimately reduce their carbon footprint.

The software is engineered to work with existing company data, automating the calculation process without requiring extensive manual input, thus making it accessible to companies without dedicated sustainability experts.

Founded in 2019 by Maximilian Winkler and Nadine Michalske, Klima.Metrix aims to bring complete emissions transparency to the economy. The company's vision is to enable every business to take data-driven actions towards a net-zero future. Their modular software is built around recognizable business activities like procurement, transportation, commuting, and energy use, which allows for customized and relevant analysis. Beyond the technology, Klima.Metrix provides a team of expert Solution Consultants who offer domain-specific knowledge to tailor the platform to each client's unique needs, from large, complex conglomerates to smaller enterprises.
