Have you ever had some rooms too hot, some too cold and none just right?

That's because cooling/heating systems don't optimize for where air needs to be directed. @Flair's systems allow heat pump exchanges to work in only the areas needed — which lowers energy usage by ~40%!

[Flair @flair]

We're proud to announce Flair's $7.6M Series A funding, co-led by @active_impact and @lowercarbon.
The Flair team is excited to expand our footprint by building next generation products and experiences, and working towards a clean energy future.

Big portco customer news! @Aquacycl is purifying wastewater for @PepsiCo, removing pullutants so water can be safely returned to the municipal system. @RVAnalytics is saving fuel for G&W on their MTL-Quebec Corridor, saving cost and carbon without affecting train travel time.

[Active Impact Investments @active_impact]

Global adoption of 3D manufacturing will help drawdown the 20% of global emissions created by how we make stuff. 3D printing allows for better materials, is less wasteful and more energy efficient than conventional production.

@Metafold3D will help make that transition happen.

[BetaKit @BetaKit]

Spun out of its co-founders’ consulting work with a major sportswear manufacturer, @active_impact-backed @Metafold3D aims to help address the bottleneck at the design side of 3D printing. #CDNtech https://t.co/XakENWaajr

Certifying as a B Corp is hard. Staying a B Corp is just as hard.

We are SO PROUD to recertify with a score that is nearly DOUBLE our first assessment at 144.4!! The median score for ordinary businesses is 50.9, 80 is required to certify and 144.4 is very, very high.

[Active Impact Investments @active_impact]

We are beyond excited to release our 2021 Climate Impact Report! This report covers the climate impact of the 18 portfolio companies we held in 2021 — 9 of which collectively mitigated 150,133 tonnes of CO2 equiviliant (tCO2e)!
