About Trace

We are building the most loved climate action platform and community in the world.

We are on a mission to reduce the barriers to net zero! Companies are increasingly looking for ways to show their commitment to combating climate change and attract environmentally conscious customers and talent, but existing solutions are often perceived as too hard and/or too expensive.

Regulation is moving fast and larger corporations are now in a compliance market. This puts pressure on the SME community to follow suit and meet corporations reporting requirements.

Trace enables small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to measure, manage and mitigate the CO2 emissions from their operations and supply chain without the cost of consultants. We leverage technology to redefine the pathway to net zero and make it accessible to companies of any size, in any industry.

We have grown rapidly in Australia and are currently launching in the European market. If you’re thirsty to learn, excited to help companies reach Net Zero and ready for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
