Climate Impact & Solution35%72

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

The core platform directly enables renewable integration and grid flexibility — its technology underpins VPPs aggregating batteries, EVs, and demand-side response that displace carbon-intensive balancing generation — but no independently verified avoided-emissions metric has been published.

Decarbonization & Targets20%18

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

No SBTi commitment or validated targets, no CDP disclosure, and no public net-zero plan with interim milestones or independent verification were found; only aspirational mission language appears in marketing materials.

ESG & Operations15%45

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

As a ~136-person Cambridge software firm Origami's operational footprint is modest, but no published sustainability report, GHG inventory, diversity data, or supply-chain ESG disclosure was found in public sources.

Transparency & Verification15%28

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

Public disclosures are limited to investor press releases and LinkedIn posts; there is no sustainability report, audited GHG data, TCFD filing, or third-party verification of climate impact claims available in the public domain.

Integrity15%82

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

No material controversies, regulatory sanctions, fossil-fuel lobbying links, governance scandals, litigation, or pollution incidents were identified in the public record for Origami Energy.

Why it's on ClimateTicker

Origami Energy is a genuine grid-enablement software company whose core product — optimising battery storage, VPPs, and demand flexibility for renewable integration — provides systemic value to the energy transition. Its business does not generate material direct emissions, but the climate case rests entirely on the downstream impact of enabling cleaner dispatch; no independently verified emissions-avoided figures are publicly disclosed. As a private SaaS firm with thin public sustainability disclosures, the climate story is credible in architecture but unverified in quantified impact.

enablerOrigami sells SaaS licences and long-term software contracts (e.g. a 20-year deal with Ylem Energy) to energy suppliers, BESS asset owners, and grid operators, providing real-time monitoring, trading automation, and portfolio management for distributed energy assets.
