Bain & Company has announced a strategic partnership with Terralytiq, a climate tech firm focused on cutting industrial emissions by one billion tons by 2030. This collaboration combines Bain’s deep expertise in strategic transformation with Terralytiq’s AI-powered analytics platform to help businesses reduce Scope 3 emissions and achieve near-term climate targets.

The partnership builds on successful joint work since 2023 and marks a new phase in supporting companies as they seek to optimize supply chains for both carbon reduction and cost-efficiency. A key focus will be deploying advanced AI tools to generate granular, product-level carbon footprints and automate supplier engagement—cutting data collection times by up to 70%.

Bain and Terralytiq will co-develop enhanced offerings that help clients translate emissions data into actionable strategies using Bain’s benchmarks and proprietary insights. This approach aims to turn complex emissions challenges into clear, commercially viable solutions.

"Scope 3 emissions remain one of the biggest barriers in climate action," said Torsten Lichtenau, Bain’s global head of Climate Change and Decarbonization. "This partnership gives our clients access to the tools needed to move from data to boardroom action."

Terralytiq CEO Alexander Pfeiffer said, "We're proud to partner with Bain to help businesses integrate resilience and sustainability as core value drivers."

Already in use across sectors such as energy, manufacturing, tech, and finance, the joint offering is expected to expand into additional industries throughout 2025.
