We are people for climate

We work with organizations to accelerate climate action and foster climate awareness. 

Our Manifesto

Climate action is always a work in progress

"THE MORE WE REDUCE OUR EMISSIONS AND CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CONTRIBUTION PROJECTS, THE BIGGER  THE IMPACT WE CAN HAVE TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE."

The effort must be twofold and should combine GHG emission measurement and reduction within an organization’s value chain, while also transparently supporting removal and avoidance projects.

Climate action is a global movement and not an individual achievement.

We believe that more climate action leads to more significant environmental and social impacts and faster achievement of carbon neutrality at the global level."

Your ClimateSeed Team
Our Vision

Leave a better world for future generations

We are committed to:

Giving you the solutions to accelerate climate action and foster climate awareness.
According to the 2022 IPCC Report, we have 3 years to avoid a climate disaster: "Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach."
We want to accelerate organizations' climate action by providing them with our solutions and expertize.
Preserving and restoring the planet.

The natural ecosystem surrounding us is precious but fragile. We are committed to providing high-quality projects, with positive social and environmental impact, in the short and long term. These climate contribution projects protect endangered species and restore their natural habitats, while maintaining and enhancing natural carbon sinks.

 

Overcoming social challenges.

During the project selection process and throughout the entire value chain, we focus on positive externalities linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Golas, such as reducing poverty and growing local economies in developing countries. ClimateSeed is particularly committed to supporting gender equality.

Relationships with AXA and 1% for the Planet

AXA
1% for the Planet

In June 2021, the AXA Impact Fund, managed by AXA Investment Managers, recognized our potential and acquired ClimateSeed. This strategic partnership, featuring board members from AXA IM and AXA Group top executives, enhances our capabilities to drive impactful climate solutions, aligning with the fund's mission to combat climate change and preserve biodiversity.

Our collaboration with multiple AXA entities on the whole carbon cycle “measure - reduce - contribute - communicate” underscores our commitment to comprehensive climate strategies, but also grants us a deep understanding of the needs of large corporates and investors, that are relevant for most companies and financial institutions.

1% for the Planet is an initiative in which companies pledge to donate at least 1% of their annual sales to environmental organizations to support the protection of the planet.

ClimateSeed donates 1% of its annual revenues to environmental causes, including projects run by the associations Planète Urgence and Geres.

Planète Urgence: Works to protect the environment through reforestation projects, biodiversity preservation and support for vulnerable populations.

Geres: Works to protect the environment through initiatives linked to renewable energies, environmental conservation and social inclusion.

How it all started

As parents and citizens, we realized that one day, the future generations will blame us for not having considered enough the preservation of our planet.

Summer 2017
We started from the bottom of a multinational organization

The founding team, a group of former employees at BNP Paribas, pitched the idea of ClimateSeed and convinced the top management to support the initiative.
