Align Corporate Sustainability Goals with Climate Scale-Up Pilot Programs
As corporations work toward their sustainability commitments, many face challenges in implementing real-world solutions that drive measurable impact. By connecting with the Climate Scale-Up Pilot Program, companies can accelerate their progress toward sustainability targets while supporting high-growth climate tech solutions ready for deployment.
Meet Net-Zero & Decarbonization Targets
Corporations with net-zero pledges often struggle to identify scalable, technology-driven solutions that reduce emissions across their operations. Amazon has set a goal to reach net-zero by 2040 through its Climate Pledge Fund, investing in climate startups that can help them decarbonize supply chains, logistics, and data centers. Through the Climate Scale-Up Pilot Program, corporates can test and deploy emerging solutions—such as industrial decarbonization technologies, carbon removal innovations, or green hydrogen adoption—to make meaningful progress toward their emissions goals.
Advance Circular Economy & Resource Efficiency
Many corporations are shifting toward circular economy models to reduce waste and enhance resource efficiency. Unilever has committed to halving its virgin plastic use by 2025 and has partnered with startups focused on alternative materials and closed-loop packaging solutions. Through the Climate Scale-Up Pilot Program, companies can pilot innovations in sustainable materials, zero-waste supply chains, and waste-to-value technologies—helping them meet ambitious sustainability goals while gaining early access to disruptive climate tech.
Strengthen ESG & Impact Metrics
Corporates are increasingly held accountable for their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performancethrough frameworks like TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures), SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative), and CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Microsoft, for example, has pledged to be carbon negative by 2030 and uses climate tech pilots to quantify and validate impact. By partnering with Climate Scale-Up startups, corporates can pilot carbon accounting, emissions tracking, and sustainability data analytics solutions, ensuring they have credible, measurable, and reportable ESG outcomes.
Reduce Climate & Regulatory Risk
As climate regulations tighten worldwide, companies that proactively integrate clean technologies will be better positioned to navigate climate risk, carbon pricing, and evolving regulatory landscapes. Maersk, the global shipping giant, has committed to achieving net-zero shipping emissions by 2040 and is already testing green fuels, electrification, and port-side decarbonization solutions. Through Climate Scale-Up pilots, companies can deploy and validate next-generation climate solutions that help them comply with future carbon mandates and financial disclosure requirements before they take effect.
Enhance Brand Leadership & Market Positioning
Early adoption of breakthrough climate technologies not only helps companies meet sustainability goals but also positions them as industry leaders in climate innovation and corporate responsibility. Apple has long used its sustainability leadership as a competitive advantage, integrating renewable energy, sustainable materials, and carbon-neutral operations into its corporate strategy. By engaging in Climate Scale-Up pilots, companies can gain exclusive access to scalable climate solutions, collaborate with policymakers, investors, and industry peers, and showcase their leadership in the transition to a sustainable economy.
