Normative partners with Klimato to launch Vertical Carbon Data Module
Setting a new standard for carbon reporting in food and beverage
Normative today introduces its Vertical Carbon Data Module, a new partnership initiative that brings best-in-class, category-specific emissions data straight into corporate carbon accounting. Klimato, a specialist in food-specific emissions data, is the first partner, enabling greater reporting accuracy and transparency for the food and beverage industry.
Stockholm September 24, 2025 – Normative, the market-leading corporate carbon-accounting engine, today unveils the first partner in its new Vertical Carbon Data Module: Klimato, a specialist in ingredient-level food emissions data, to give food and beverage businesses the data precision they need to win on both compliance and competitiveness. Through the partnership, Klimato’s database of over 4,000 unique ingredients and 20,000 variations by origin and production method is now integrated directly into Normative’s audit-grade carbon accounting engine. This delivers unparalleled accuracy from recipe to corporate inventory, enabling companies to meet tightening climate disclosure requirements, protect margins, and identify reduction opportunities faster.
Food and beverage companies face distinct emissions challenges, frequent supplier changes, evolving recipes, and growing demands for transparency from both regulators and consumers. Klimato’s ingredient-level granularity, with global reach and local precision, turns these challenges into competitive advantages by unlocking more actionable insights than generic emission factors.
Normative’s audit-grade carbon accounting engine, trusted for its Scope 1–3 coverage, GHG Protocol alignment, and country-specific emission factors, now pulls Klimato data straight into its accounting workflow. Early users report higher data precision, smoother processes, and greater confidence in their disclosures, all within a single system.
This partnership reflects a growing need for connected carbon systems, enabling companies to link procurement-level decisions to company-wide climate performance. It also builds on recent investments by Normative to deepen its coverage in food and agriculture, including:
- Addition of +2,500 new agri-food emission factors
- Enhanced FLAG emissions model, with a dedicated dashboard for land-related emissions reporting
About the Klimato partnership
Joint customers can now access one connected system for carbon intelligence, from ingredients to corporate inventories. By removing silos and streamlining data flows, food and beverage companies gain the insight and flexibility needed to reduce emissions at scale.
Sebastien Blanc, CEO of Normative, said:
This partnership brings precision and scale together. By integrating Klimato’s rich food emissions data into the Normative platform, we’re helping food and beverage companies make faster, science-aligned progress toward their net-zero targets.
Anton Unger, CEO of Klimato, added:
Integrating Klimato into Normative’s platform connects procurement-level data with company-wide climate performance. This is about giving food and beverage businesses a clear path from data to decisions, and from compliance to real competitive edge.
The integrated solution is now available to customers of both companies, offering a single, audit-ready system for carbon intelligence from ingredient to enterprise.
Expanding the Vertical Carbon Data Module
Looking ahead, Normative will extend this module by adding further food-data specialists and partnering with experts in other high-impact industries, giving every customer the same seamless, audit-ready workflow, no matter where their emissions arise.
