Impact Forecast
In a world of scarce resources, the criteria by which we evaluate businesses need to be held to a higher standard. We can no longer afford to judge a company, product or service's viability by financial prognosis alone. We already live in a future where one of the first questions we need to ask new business ventures is: how will this impact our climate? Impact Forecast is at the forefront of that change, offering tools and on-demand expertise which facilitate access to climate data from the earliest stages of development. This allows businesses to assess their climate impact with scalable and tailor made solutions. Through validated impact forecasts, we give investors and funders confidence in their ability to mitigate climate change by entrusting the most promising innovations with their resources.
