What Klima.Metrix does

Klima.Metrix is a Berlin-based climate technology company founded in 2019 that builds carbon accounting and ESG compliance software for corporates and financial institutions. Its original product automates the calculation of corporate and product carbon footprints across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 using both cost-based and activity-based methods grounded in the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 methodologies. In 2025, Klima.Metrix was acquired by Austrian ESG software provider Climcycle Solutions GmbH and now operates as Climcycle Deutschland (ehem. Klima.Metrix), combining its emissions calculation capabilities with Climcycle's climate risk and regulatory reporting tools.

The combined platform is delivered as a modular All-in-One ESG suite comprising nine modules: CO2 Emissionen (PCAF & Dekarbonisierung), EU-Taxonomie, GAR & Offenlegung, CSRD & ESRS, Physische Klimarisiken, Biodiversität, ESG-Risiko-Scoring, ESG Stresstest, and Monetäre Effekte. The technical architecture relies on a database of 20,000 emissions factors, address-specific physical climate risk data covering 24 risks and 4 scenarios through 2100, 22 biodiversity metrics updated semi-annually, and AI-powered text recognition for regulatory document workflows including energy certificate processing. Modules can be deployed individually or as a fully integrated suite, with cloud-based delivery, four-eyes principle workflows, and API integration into customer data warehouses.

Klima.Metrix monetizes through annual software subscriptions with three pricing tiers: a free 10-day demo, a license without API integration, and a license with API integration for synchronized data and user permissions. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting banks and mid-market to enterprise corporates, primarily across the DACH region with reported expansion into the Baltics via Luminor. Five named banking customers include Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich, Thüringer, Luminor, KfW, and Volksbank, and the company states its modules are used by over 100 banks. The platform carries annual PCAF accreditation, EBA best-practice recognition, ECB material outsourcing approval, and Big Four audit endorsements.

Core offering

Klima.Metrix provides cloud-based carbon accounting and ESG software that automates the calculation of corporate and product carbon footprints across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, using GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 methodologies with both cost-based and activity-based approaches. It offers specialized modules for financial institutions to measure financed emissions per the PCAF standard, and now operates within the broader Climcycle ESG-All-In-One platform following the 2025 acquisition.

Product overview

Klima.Metrix was originally a Berlin-based carbon accounting software company founded in 2019, offering automated calculation of corporate and product carbon footprints across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. In 2025, Klima.Metrix was acquired by Climcycle, an Austrian ESG software provider, and its operations continue as Climcycle Deutschland. The current product portfolio consists of Climcycle's ESG-All-In-One Platform—a modular software solution combining regulatory compliance, climate risk management, and decarbonization tools. The platform includes modules for CO2 Emissions (PCAF & Dekarbonisierung), EU-Taxonomie, GAR & Offenlegung, CSRD & ESRS, Physische Klimarisiken, Biodiversität, ESG-Risiko-Scoring, ESG Stresstest, and Monetäre Effekte. These modules serve both banks/financial institutions and corporates, and can be deployed individually or as a complete integrated solution. All calculations are built on GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 methodologies.
