Climate action for your
‍employees

Climate neutral employees is a staff perk that enables companies to integrate their employees in the sustainability strategy. Employees can calculate and reduce their CO2 footprint and compensate the remaining CO2 footprint with individually selected climate protection projects.

Having climate neutral employees means that every person in your organization has a net carbon footprint of zero because they work at your organization.

Our mission is to build truly sustainable company cultures and provide companies and their employees with a tool with which they can actively and collectively combat climate change - while having fun!

We believe that "no one is too small to make a difference" (Greta Thunberg) and that organizational change starts with each and every employee. The power of the individual is often mentioned, yet undervalued - especially when taking one thing into account: The ability of humans to inspire others.

Every employee has the option to calculate their individual and personal CO2 footprint with our CO2 footprint calculator software. The calculator consists of a number of questions concerning 4 areas of Life: Living, Diet, Mobility, and Consumption. The calculation formulas and assumptions are based on data provided by the Umwelt Bundesamt (Federal Environment Agency). We make sure that all of the collected data is handled strictly confidential so that only the individual employee is able to see their own analysis of their CO2 footprint - unless ofcourse they want to share the information because they are proud of the progress in reducing their CO2 footprint with Clime;).

In case employees do not want to submit their own CO2 footprint, we use the average of 11 tonnes CO2e in a year per individual (according to the Umwelt Bundesamt).

Studies show that employees want to work for companies that promote social responsibility. In fact, it is among the top three criteria when picking an employer. Introducing green benefits, such as Clime, offers employees the opportunity to participate in a program that benefits the environment as well as communities around the globe. The importance of sustainable action is further highlighted by a study conducted by FastCompany, as 50% of all respondents said they would accept a pay cut to work at a company with a strong environmentally responsible company. Furthermore, 30% said that they have left a company because of poor sustainability.

As an organization it is often difficult to find the right actions or projects to combat climate change. Companies are not well informed and try to fight climate change from top down - often leading to green washing allegations. At Clime, we believe that sustainable change comes from within an organizations and starts with each and every employee. We want to leverage the power of the individual in order to help organizations to actively combat climate change. With our product, climate change will become a much more relevant topic inside organizations. By providing every employee with well researched and easy to understand information, we enhance well informed discussions and decision-making that takes the environmental impact into account on every level within an organization.

Clime is built for forward-thinking companies.

Reducing a company's overall emissions and coming up with a plan to reach net zero is essential for a company's rational for existence. Companies that heavily rely on human capital lack options to achieve net zero. With Clime, those companies can not only make a big step towards net zero; they are able to actively include their employees on their journey to net zero. Clime leverages the power of data to help a company reach net zero in the most effective and impactful way. With Clime, an organization can make the journey towards net zero together with it's employees while at the same time harness advantages in talent acquisition and retention.
