Carbon footprint data made easy
About
Us
What we do
FootprintLab provides current, credible and commercially ready carbon data to integrate with fintech, open banking, accounting software, for procurement, investment, or any transaction, in any sector, in any country in the world.
Our data is world class, developed in cooperation with the University of Sydney and UNSW. So good, it's used by the Australian Government's Climate Active program and in a large range of peer reviewed scientific journals. So hard to make, we depend on decades of research, and high performance computers to get it right.
Our team has decades of experience in producing and using footprint data - haven't seen a use case we can't support yet! We will work with you to ensure you get it right and have all the answers for your users.
Who We Are
Cofounders Tim and Janet have spent decades at the CSIRO and the United Nations working with companies or whole countries to measure and manage their greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Vision
Our vision is to make the environmental footprint of every transaction transparent and credible. By bringing to light the hidden impacts behind our consumption and production activities, consumers, producers and governments can make informed decisions that align with society’s sustainability goals.
