Train4Impact: Making climate impact measurable

Climate impact in figures: The Borderstep Institute for Innovation and Sustainability has started work on the Train4Impact project together with the start-up ImpactNexus. The aim is to support start-ups that focus on the common good in measuring and optimising their climate impact.

What is the climate impact of my business model and how can I optimise it?

Innovative tools such as the GHG & Impact Estimator, workshops and personalised advice are used to search for and find tailor-made solutions for young companies. The start-ups benefit from the Borderstep Institute’s many years of expertise and application-oriented formats.

Green start-ups could save more than 10% of German greenhouse gas emissions

The figures speak for themselves: start-ups with a focus on sustainability could save up to 73 million tonnes of CO₂e in Germany every year – a potential that accounts for more than 10% of German greenhouse gas emissions.

The project is funded by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (ESF Plus).
