ClimateChoice, the winner of the GREEN START-UP SLAM Los Angeles 2024, captivated with its mission to empower businesses in driving climate transformation through scalable supply chain decarbonization solutions. Lara Obst, who delivered the pitch on stage, hails from Germany, and the ClimateTech company is proudly based in Berlin

In collaboration with ClimateChoice, Lenovo introduced the GHG Emissions & Strategy Community Benchmarking program, empowering partners to evaluate, enhance, and accelerate their climate action. By uniting partners around shared goals and providing data-driven insights, Lenovo is setting a new standard for collaborative climate leadership.

In Germany, the new Climate and ESG Act affects 14,600 companies and thus large parts of the SME sector. Up to 80 percent, and in some cases even 90 percent, of greenhouse gas emissions come from the upstream stages of value creation (Scope 3) and not from the company's own operations and electricity purchases (Scope 1 and 2).

Berlin-Based startup, The Climate Choice closed a $2 million round to help companies cut a chunk of their carbon out of that part of their emissions, too.

(…) O2 Telefónica announced that it wants to create more transparency about its CO2 emissions along the supply chain. To this end, the company will use The Climate Choice software platform and collect climate-focused data from around 1,000 suppliers. (…)

(..) Based in Berlin, The Climate Choice empowers companies by making climate action available and tangible. Lara Obst founded the B2B startup in April together with Yasha Tarani, later joined by chief data scientist Dr Rey Farhan. Obst has a 10-year experience in sustainability and tech. (..)

(..)“Next steps will require an accurate planning of clear reduction actions and measures,” Obst adds. “Reducing CO2 is therefore a joined journey and will need the climate transformation of many players. A clear and transparent roadmap would help stakeholder, suppliers and customers to understand how the pledged goals will be implemented.”(..)

(..)The Climate Choice offers software to assess how ready a company is to adopt climate-friendly practices, and what steps it needs to take to become closer to climate neutral.(..)
