TeamClimate: A Commitment to a Climate-Neutral Future
editAbout the Company
editTeamClimate, originally founded under the name Mindful Mission, is an Austrian startup that was established in June 2015 by Christoph Rebernig and Karim Abdel Baky during their school years. Since then, the company has developed into a leading platform for calculating, reducing, and compensating CO2 emissions.
Key Products and Services
editTeamClimate offers a comprehensive platform where users can calculate and offset their personal CO2 footprint. This includes:
- CO2 Footprint Calculation: Users can determine their individual CO2 consumption and receive corresponding measures for reduction.
- Regular Tips and Advice: Subscribers receive personalized tips regularly to reduce their daily CO2 consumption.
- Support for Certified Climate Protection Projects: Through the subscription, certified climate protection projects in countries like Peru, India, and Bangladesh are supported, which are scientifically based and certified by independent third parties[1][4].
Main Mission and Values
editThe main mission of TeamClimate is to empower individuals and companies to have a sustainable, positive impact on climate protection by reducing and compensating their CO2 emissions. The company relies on a collective effort to overcome the climate crisis and emphasizes the need to act immediately rather than waiting for others[1][4].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editTeamClimate has several sustainability goals and initiatives:
- Climate Protection Projects: The company supports projects that protect the rainforest in Peru, generate renewable energy in India, and provide clean water in Bangladesh. These projects are certified by organizations such as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the UNFCCC, and the Gold Standard[1][2].
- Education and Awareness Raising: TeamClimate provides regular tips and advice to promote awareness of climate-friendly behavior and reduce the daily CO2 footprint.
- Inclusive Brand: The company strives to be an inclusive brand that enables both individuals and companies to contribute to solving the climate crisis[3].
Current Developments
editIn June 2023, TeamClimate was acquired by the Spanish scale-up ClimateTrade. This acquisition allows ClimateTrade to offer emissions offsets directly to individuals on a subscription basis, in addition to its corporate clients. By combining the expertise and climate projects of both companies, the impact on the fight against climate change is expected to be strengthened[2].
With its dedicated mission and comprehensive services, TeamClimate makes a significant contribution to combating climate change and inspires others to take action as well.
