ClimateHound

ClimateHound is a sustainability software and certification platform purpose-built for the food and beverage industry. Founded by a team of sustainability specialists, software engineers, and food and beverage experts, the company provides an all-in-one carbon accounting solution that enables F&B businesses to calculate, manage, report, and certify their carbon footprints. Its platform is specifically designed to address the unique operational complexities of food and beverage producers, including breweries, wineries, distilleries, and other CPG manufacturers. ClimateHound offers Carbon Neutral certification that is aligned with TTB labeling requirements, the FDA's general rules on labeling, the FTC's Green Guides, and California AB-1305 voluntary carbon market disclosure regulations. The certification mark can be used on product packaging, websites, social media, and in-store signage without requiring label resubmission, offering a streamlined path to compliant sustainability claims. The platform supports reporting frameworks including the GHG Protocol, CDP, GRI, and TCFD, enabling businesses to produce investor-grade sustainability disclosures. Additional certifications available through the platform include powered-by-renewables and zero-waste designations. ClimateHound's software features include carbon footprint analysis, annual reporting, custom branded sustainability websites, utility consumption tracking, carbon time machine projections for goal-setting, ROI-positive initiative identification, and auto-populated social media templates tailored to sustainability communications. The company positions itself as either a full-time outsourced sustainability team or an accelerator for in-house sustainability professionals, with an average onboarding time of one hour and a two-week turnaround for finalized carbon footprint reports — claiming to be 99% faster than manual analysis. ClimateHound has documented community-wide impact, including over 6,000 tonnes of emissions offset and more than 10.7 million pounds of firewood avoided, with its certification appearing on millions of product units across a growing client base of food and beverage brands. Notable clients include Montanya Distillers, Wilridge Winery, Eda Rhyne Distilling Co., Lost Grove Brewing, and Oak & Grist Distilling Co. The platform also supports supply chain optimization, employee engagement initiatives around sustainability culture, and investor appeal enhancement by making sustainability data easily shareable.
