Company Overview: Emmi is an impact-driven climate tech company. We believe a low carbon economy is possible, and that properly incentivising and mobilising capital is the fastest and most cost-effective way to reach Net Zero and beyond.

We have created machine learning models to calculate any company's emissions globally and advanced risk algorithms to show the financial impact of emissions. These offer unique insights for institutional investors, such as super funds, enabling them to assess emission risks across their investment portfolios.
