Our strategic areas
Climate risk intelligence
Climate intelligence isn't just about information – it's a strategic advantage. Our approach combines research products and advisory services aimed at decoding the intricate interplay between climate change risks and business dynamics. With climate intelligence, SMEs gain the foresight to navigate risks and harness growth in an era of environmental transformation.
Tools for change
Education is key to ensuring a more sustainable future. By informing business owners about the impact that they can make through their actions, we can shape the judgement, values and behavior, we can enable them to take the most sustainable steps forward.

Nature-based solutions
Nature-based solutions are proven ways of reducing carbon emissions and capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the protection, restoration and management of natural ecosystems. By advocating the adoption of nature-based solutions, we will be able to increase forest cover, protect mangroves, improve biodiversity and mitigate carbon emissions.
Working for the planet
At the heart of our actions are the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a blueprint and universal call to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Our solutions work towards promoting and achieving the following SDGs:
Committed to social impact down to our legal structure
We’re a different type of company
At Labfields, we're committed to making a positive social impact while also ensuring financial sustainability. That's why we chose to register as a Low-Profit Limited Liability Company (L3C). By choosing this model, we can focus on creating positive social and environmental impact while still raising the capital we need to grow and expand our impact.
Unlike traditional for-profit companies, our L3C status ensures that our mission and values are at the core of everything we do. This allows us to pursue our social and environmental goals without the constraints of traditional business models or the dependence on donations that come with being a nonprofit.
We invest into nature
We reinvest our profits into nature-based solutions focused on climate change mitigation and ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction thus helping reverse the damage by tapping into the healing ability of nature.
