Our mission is to mobilise all market players and create tools to catalyse the transition to a sustainable economy. OUR WHY We’ve all been there - asking ourselves what WE can do about climate change. We’ve already cut flying, reduced meat consumption, and ordered less on Amazon. But all these measures sum up to a low single-digit CO2 tons reduction. We realised that we need to look at our workplace to have a real impact. How can we dedicate our time and resources to have a significant impact on humanity’s biggest challenge? This is how Extantia’s team came together. For us, as successful investors, unicorn founders, climate scientists & policy experts, it was a no-brainer. At Extantia, we combine our know-how in different areas to move the needle on climate change.
