ABOUT CO2 AI
CO2 AI helps some of the world's largest companies understand and cut their environmental footprint. We deliver that value in two ways: through our platform, which runs product level carbon footprints at scale and models decarbonisation levers, and through the industrial applied AI use cases we deliver alongside it. What our clients are after is not a dashboard, it is outcomes: decisions taken, levers activated, emissions actually coming down.
We spun out of BCG in 2023. We are 45 people based in Paris, with teammates in the US and the UK, and our working language is English.
