ClimateCamp

TLDR

ClimateCamp is an Antwerp-based startup providing an AI-powered platform for Scope 3 supply chain emissions measurement, with 800+ companies on the platform and EUR 3.5M raised in seed funding.

Overview

Founded in 2022 in Antwerp by Stijn Gysemans, Vitalie Schiopu, Laurent Moyersoen, and Ruben Pelckmans, ClimateCamp was initially focused on helping companies in the food and beverage sector measure and reduce their carbon footprint. The platform has since expanded to serve food manufacturers and packaging businesses more broadly, reflecting the widening scope of EU sustainability reporting obligations.

Scope 3 emissions, which cover indirect emissions embedded in a company's supply chain, are typically the largest component of a corporate carbon footprint and the hardest to measure. They require engaging hundreds of suppliers to collect activity data. ClimateCamp uses AI to automate supplier data collection and emissions calculations, reducing a process that typically requires significant manual effort.

The company has over 800 companies sharing data on its platform, with a target of 2,000 by year-end. In its seed round, ClimateCamp raised EUR 3.5M led by Expon Capital, with additional backing from VLAIO, Luxembourg's Ministry of the Economy, KBC, PMV, and Birdhouse Ventures. CSRD and other EU sustainability reporting mandates are creating structural tailwinds for the category.
