About ClimateCount
ClimateCount is a data intelligence hub that completely automates real-time carbon mitigation and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). As the Netherlands navigates a shifting regulatory landscape, driven by new EU sustainability mandates, Dutch SMEs face the immense challenge of tracking and disclosing their sustainability data without the budget for expensive consultants or the internal capacity to handle complex questionnaires.
ClimateCount bridges this critical data gap by connecting SMEs directly with their corporate clients, banking institutions, and the global carbon market through a seamless, automated infrastructure. Our Data Ecosystem Hub transforms sustainability from a regulatory burden into a financial opportunity. By eliminating manual entry, we automatically generate audit-ready ESG reports and real-time executive dashboards. Moving beyond passive tracking, our live alerts trigger immediate emission reductions and cost savings. Finally, our multi-portal infrastructure allows banks and corporate partners to pull verified compliance data directly, while aggregating network data to help SMEs monetize their green actions in the Voluntary Carbon Market. Our solution is building the foundation for a highly profitable, net-zero economy.
