About Cleartraced: AI-Powered ESG Data, Built by Repeat Founders

In 2014, our founder set out to collect and analyze climate data from companies — benchmarking performance and highlighting leaders through ESG KPIs. Back then, few companies reported at all.
Today, 50,000+ companies across the EU are mandated to disclose. The data exists. The problem is quality — and that’s exactly what we built Cleartraced to solve.

In 2014, our founder envisioned an idea: to collect and analyze climate data from companies, aiming to benchmark performance and highlight industry leaders through various Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Back then, the challenge was significant — few companies reported their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
This scarcity of reporting companies made it impossible to draw meaningful conclusions from the available information. As the years rolled on, the landscape transformed dramatically. Today, we find ourselves in the midst of a planetary crisis. New regulations, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), now mandate over 50,000 companies in the EU to disclose their GHG emissions.
This shift has led to a remarkable increase in the availability and accessibility of GHG data, as well as a growing demand for transparency. However, a critical issue persists: the quality of this data often falls short, making it difficult to interpret and utilize effectively.
Despite these challenges, our services are designed to bridge this gap. We are dedicated to enhancing the quality and accessibility of climate data, empowering the general public to take informed action. This commitment drives us forward as we strive to create a more sustainable future for all.
Vision
To set a new standard for ESG data, where transparency replaces assumption and trust is built on traceability.
Mission
Provide clear, current and traceable ESG data that reduces manual work and enables better decisions.
