Carbon Maps is the first environmental accounting platform dedicated to the food industry.
We are on a mission to help the food industry reduce its environmental impact by aggregating fragmented data across all stages of the food chain—from farmers to consumers—and carrying out simple, rapid, and auditable science-based calculations that translate into actionable insights. Bringing together product designers, software engineers, data scientists and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) experts of the highest caliber, we are building and offering innovative and agile tools that combine environmental data modeling expertise with streamlined, extremely user-friendly software.
Carbon Maps launched in December 2022. Today, we are a team of 20 based in Paris, well funded with the backing of top European VCs and already working with large food companies and retailers such as Andros, Sodexo, Leclerc and Bel.
