Day 1 of 4, delivering Carbon Literacy in house to an entire business……. There are real benefits to in house delivery. All of your employees are trained at the same time, discussion and debate tends to center around the issues facing your business specifically, and it makes planning group actions far more effective. It’s also a great way to ensure your entire team is on the same page where it comes to your business climate ambitions, and can put you on an immediate path to applying for Carbon Literate Organisation status.

Woot! It's fun to be able to finally share the new brand for Elemental Impact as well as information about our new #catalyticfunding from the US EPA's #greenhousegas reduction fund. Stoked for the new brand, which reflects the evolution of the brand into a platform and family of funds dedicated to #scaling #climate and #community #impact. #climatetech #investing #impact #GGRF More info in the link in comments.

Two days ago, we saw the the publishing of the Speed & Scale Tracker, an engaging visual presentation of our progress on the climate crisis. Here's what it taught me 📜👇🏽: It was helpful to take stock of what they thought was going well, and what they thought was going worst: 📈 What's going well: cars, solar + wind, batteries, electricity, project finance, venture capital 📉 What's going worst: coal + gas, methane, cows, forests, steel + cement, NBS, carbon removal This matches where we've seen the most private market interest. The challenge is how do we put our efforts into sectors that aren't as financially "pretty." Government subsidies and philanthropic dollars are crucial for this. The challenge here is for founders to build well-run enough copmanies tackling big enough problems for philanthropies to fund and governments to support once de-risked. 💰 If recent legislative progress has shown us anything, it's that people ARE paying attention, and we need tools like this to focus our attention. Shoutout to Jonathan Lipman and the Speed & Scale team for this great work. Link in the comments 🚀👇🏽

Kicked off #ClimateWeekNYC with a great morning run and meetup! Loved connecting with founders and investors who are building the future. Learned a ton about IRA tax credits, AgTech innovations, and the future of #ExtendedProducerResponsibility legislation. I also got to chat about @Topanga.io — turns out, no matter where you stand on climate, everyone agrees that reducing waste is a win. 🗑️✨ Excited to be part of this community and looking forward to the panels and activities ahead! #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Founders #ClimateTech

New year, new Impact Report. 2023/24 was a big one for us - we improved our company so much, we became a B Corp, and we found out how much more we could be doing (which is slightly overwhelming, really!).
