Climax

Core Features

Climax takes financial or organisational data (from operations, investments or lending), and through an integrated emissions engine produces full-scope GHG inventories and financed-emissions profiles. The platform emphasises transparency, compliance and ease-of-use regardless of a user’s prior carbon-accounting expertise. Some of its main features are:

• Full-Scope Carbon Accounting - Climax supports Scope 1-3 emissions inventories, accommodating both highly granular data and coarser datasets. This allows organisations to generate comprehensive GHG inventories no matter their data maturity.

• Portfolio & Asset Footprint (Financed Emissions) - For financial institutions, portfolio managers, and asset managers, Climax computes financed emissions allowing calculation of emissions tied to investments or lending.

• Investor & Regulatory-grade Disclosures. The platform enables firms to generate disclosures aligned with major sustainability reporting frameworks, turning emissions data into governance-ready reports.

• Carbon Scenario Modeling & Reduction Strategy Support - Climax offers modeling tools to define and explore decarbonisation pathways, allowing organisations to forecast potential emission reductions and plan reduction strategies accordingly.

• Benchmarking and Peer Comparison - Users can compare their carbon footprint and financed-emissions intensity against industry or regional peers, helping to set realistic targets and assess performance over time.

• Simplicity and Accessibility - The interface is designed for users without prior technical carbon-accounting expertise. Data can be uploaded via API or bulk upload, and all emission factors and secondary data are maintained by Climax.

Closing Insights

Climax was founded to remove a core barrier to net zero: many organisations lack the time and expertise to build robust emissions inventories from their own data. CEO and founder Erik Miedema previously founded Shell TapUp, a mobile fuelling venture aimed at cleaner fuels, and spent more than a decade in the energy sector gaining practical exposure to global non-financial reporting frameworks. Co-founder Milena Grul (CMO & COO) brings corporate telecommunications experience and has helped create and scale corporate start-ups in sectors such as retail and fintech. This combination of energy-market, reporting and venture-scaling expertise underpins a platform specifically oriented toward turning financial and operational data into certified carbon footprints and investor-grade disclosures, while remaining usable for non-specialist teams across enterprises and financial institutions.

While public documentation does not list specific high-profile clients, the platform’s dual orientation (to enterprise operations and financial-sector financed emissions) suggests broad applicability across industries and use cases, from corporate decarbonisation to ESG-driven investment decision-making. For organisations seeking disclosure-grade emissions numbers, Climax offers a single, cloud-based system that works “like a financial system”: real-time calculations from transactional data, full audit trails and data lineage, and a CO₂ ledger designed to pass stringent assurance processes. Its focus on enterprises and financial institutions, combined with founders who have operated inside energy markets, reporting frameworks and venture-scaling environments, gives the platform a clear orientation toward practical implementation rather than purely theoretical carbon accounting.
