The origins of Global Climate Initiatives
A private international initiative bringing together various economic and scientific players. Its vocation is to offer all types of communities and companies, of all sectors and sizes, a platform of online services to calculate, reduce and contribute to their carbon footprint, in full compliance with the texts, benchmarks and standards of reference.
Historically a global specialist in greenhouse gas emissions in the transport industry as TK'BLUE, GCI has made its GHG emission inventory calculation software available for all kinds of businesses at a very competitive rate and with precise, concrete, and compliant benefits.
Created to meet the needs and requirements of companies
GCI is the full-service response to the needs of craftspeople, retailers, SMEs and large companies right up to major groups, who are all increasingly aware of their overall impact on the climate.
They want to commit to a GHG lowering approach, which is only growing in appeal on an ongoing basis.
They want to measure their carbon footprint to reduce it,
and eventually contribute to carbon projects.

For a company, it is important to be able to work on the entire process: calculate + reduce + enroll suppliers + contribute with the same contact person.
