PlanA in a nutshell
Founded in 2017, the Berlin-based startup has developed an end-to-end platform that enables companies to measure, monitor, and reduce their environmental footprint and improve their environmental, social, and governance performance using machine learning and science. Plan A’s carbon accounting software, which assists businesses in reducing their emissions, has been used by over 400 companies since its launch and has reduced clients’ emissions by 8% on average this year.
Recently, the startup announced the official launch of its new SaaS tool for ESG reporting aimed at startups and VCs. ESG stands for Environmental, Social factors, and corporate Governance. The main idea is that startups and venture capital companies can “now peer into the ESG rating of their subsidiaries, portfolio companies, and suppliers through the Plan A Platform, reducing reduces data collection and analysis efforts to less onerous levels”.
