What Klimato does

Klimato AB is a Stockholm-headquartered, private climatetech software company founded in 2017 that builds a food-specific carbon accounting platform. The platform centers on a proprietary database of more than 4,000 ingredients across 100+ countries with over 20,000 variations by production method and origin, derived from peer-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment studies and validated by IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute and the World Resources Institute's Coolfood Methodology. Product surface comprises four primary modules: Klimato Food Emissions (procurement-to-Scope 3 Category 1 mapping), Klimato Carbon Accounting (full Scope 1-3 reporting aligned with CSRD/ESRS E1 and GHG Protocol), Klimato Product Carbon Footprint (ISO 14067-aligned PCF for food producers), and Klimato Carbon Labeling (consumer-facing A-E meal ratings).

Klimato serves enterprise customers across contract catering (Sodexo, ISS), hotels and hospitality (Hilton/DoubleTree, Marriott, Mövenpick, Hotel Indigo), restaurants (Wahaca, LETT), and food producers (Quorn, Violife, Flora), with the company stating over 500 food businesses across 12 countries use the platform. Customer outcomes cited include 23% average per-plate CO2 reduction in 2022, a 57% per-menu reduction at one hotel client, and a 66% meal-related emissions reduction for Sodexo at AstraZeneca.

Revenue is generated through quote-based annual SaaS subscriptions sold via a demo-driven enterprise field-sales motion, with assigned Customer Success Managers supporting implementation. The company has raised approximately €5.6M cumulatively across disclosed rounds (the most recent being a €4.2M round in March 2023 led by Global Cleantech Capital), operates offices in Stockholm and London, and has named Germany, France, and the US as expansion targets following the 2023 raise.

Core offering

Klimato provides food-specific carbon management software that turns food procurement data into accurate, audit-ready carbon reporting across Scope 1, 2, and 3, with particular depth in Scope 3 Category 1 (purchased goods and services). The platform uses a proprietary database of 4,000+ ingredients across 100+ countries and 20,000+ variations to automate emissions measurement, generate product carbon footprints aligned to ISO 14067, and produce A-E climate labels for menus. It is sold as a SaaS subscription to food businesses via direct enterprise sales.

Product overview

Klimato offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on food-specific carbon management software. The core offering consists of Klimato Food Emissions (primary procurement-to-emissions mapping), Klimato Carbon Accounting (full Scope 1-3 reporting), Klimato Product Carbon Footprint (ISO 14067 PCF calculations for food producers), and Klimato Carbon Labeling (consumer-facing climate labels). The platform is complemented by a recipe calculator tool and integration capabilities for existing procurement and reporting systems. The solution serves catering, hotels, restaurants, and food producers across 12 countries.

Broad incumbents

• Persefoni: Persefoni is an enterprise Climate Management & Accounting Platform that helps companies measure and manage carbon footprints across Scopes 1-3. It competes for enterprise carbon budgets that include food-related Scope 3 Category 1 reporting, making it a broad incumbent competitor to Klimato.
• Plan A: Plan A is a corporate carbon accounting and decarbonization platform with Scope 1-3 capabilities and CSRD-ready reporting. It is a broad incumbent that competes for enterprise climate software contracts, including those from food, hospitality, and retail companies served by Klimato.
• Greenly: Greenly offers carbon accounting software for SMEs and mid-market companies, including Scope 3 categories and supplier engagement. It is a broader incumbent that competes with Klimato for the carbon reporting budget among smaller food producers and restaurant groups.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise carbon accounting and climate platform that serves large corporates across multiple sectors, including food and hospitality. While broader in scope than Klimato, it competes for the same enterprise Scope 3 Category 1 reporting budget and offers procurement-grade integrations.
• Sweep: Sweep is a carbon management platform that supports Scope 1-3 emissions tracking, supplier engagement, and CSRD reporting for enterprises. It overlaps with Klimato on Scope 3 Category 1 supplier data workflows and competes for the same sustainability buyer at multi-site food and hospitality companies.

Direct peers

• HowGood: HowGood provides sustainability intelligence and product-level climate and sourcing data for the food industry, including labels and ratings used by CPG brands and retailers. It overlaps with Klimato on ingredient-level data, PCF calculations, and consumer-facing climate labeling.
• Eaternity: Eaternity provides a food carbon footprint platform calculating dish- and menu-level emissions for foodservice operators, restaurants, and caterers. It is the closest direct peer to Klimato, sharing a focus on Scope 3 Category 1 emission factors and LCA-based methodologies for the food industry.
• CarbonCloud: CarbonCloud offers a SaaS platform that calculates climate footprints for food products and ingredients using proprietary LCA-based emission factors. It directly competes with Klimato in serving food producers with product carbon footprint and supplier engagement workflows.

Emerging players

• My Emissions: My Emissions provides carbon labeling and emissions tracking for restaurants and foodservice, with a focus on consumer-facing impact data. It is an emerging player that competes with Klimato's Carbon Labeling module for restaurant and hospitality customers.

Others

• FoodPrint (Brighter Planet): FoodPrint is a sustainability resource and footprint-measurement initiative that publishes food carbon footprint data and tools for consumers and operators. It is adjacent to Klimato as a thought-leadership and data resource in the food-emissions space rather than a direct enterprise SaaS competitor.
