ClimateChoice is a Berlin-based technology company building an AI-first supplier-climate intelligence platform that empowers procurement and sustainability teams to accelerate Scope 3 decarbonization in company supply chains.[1][2][3][4] It serves large enterprises like T-Systems, o2 Telefónica, Lenovo, and EnBW by automating supplier data collection, scoring over 50,000 suppliers across 140+ countries, engaging 2,000+ suppliers, and supporting 35+ Scope 3 leaders with audit-ready, transparent data for emission reductions.[1][2] The platform solves the challenge of turning Scope 3 ambitions—indirect emissions from supply chains—into measurable actions through collaboration, trusted data, and alignment to net-zero targets, amid rising regulatory and investor demands.[2][3][5]
Growth momentum includes operations across global supply chains, client partnerships with major firms, and early funding under $5 million, signaling strong market interest in the software industry.[2][5]
ClimateChoice was co-founded by Yasha Tarani (CEO), Lara Obst (Chief Climate Officer), and Dr. Rey Farhan (Chief Data Scientist), based in Berlin, Germany.[1] Yasha, with a background in Media Economics and a Master’s in Management, previously founded and led resmio.com before pivoting to climate tech; he now drives business development, sales, and finance, working directly with client sustainability and procurement teams.[1] Lara brings over 15 years in climate and innovation, focusing on operations, sustainability, communications, and making climate transformation accessible for companies and supply chains.[1] Dr. Rey Farhan, with a Master’s in Physics, PhD in Bioinformatics, and experience as a Data Scientist at PwC, SoundCloud, and Director at Originate.com (serving clients like Blackrock), leads product and data efforts.[1]
The idea emerged from the need to address Scope 3 decarbonization challenges—businesses facing demands from partners, investors, and regulations without adequate resources—leading to a specialized software platform for quick, cost-efficient climate assessments and reporting.[1][5] Early traction built through client collaborations, scaling to score 50k+ suppliers and engage thousands.[2]
ClimateChoice rides the corporate net-zero wave, where Scope 3 emissions—often 70-90% of a company's footprint—face intensifying scrutiny from EU regulations like CSRD, SEC rules, and investor pressures, driving demand for decarbonization tools.[1][2][5] Timing is ideal amid global supply chain transformations post-COP commitments, with market forces like mandatory reporting and supplier mandates favoring scalable, data-driven platforms over consultants.[3][4]
It influences the ecosystem by enabling collaborative decarbonization, bridging procurement and sustainability silos, and providing benchmarks that push suppliers worldwide toward transparency—accelerating industry-wide progress in a $23B+ climate tech market.[2]
ClimateChoice is poised to expand as Scope 3 reporting becomes mandatory for thousands of firms, potentially scaling supplier coverage and AI capabilities to dominate enterprise climate intelligence.[2][5] Trends like AI-enhanced ESG data, deepening supply chain regulations, and net-zero alliances will shape its path, with opportunities in emerging markets and integrations with ERP systems. Its influence may evolve from niche enabler to ecosystem standard-setter, empowering businesses to hit climate targets collaboratively—turning today's supply chain challenge into tomorrow's competitive edge, much like its mission to make decarbonization practically accessible.[1]
