ESG fatigue and greenwashing scrutiny mean the climate companies that win are those that lead with measurement, not messaging.

The real problem
Why Climate Tech marketing keeps failing to deliver
Greenwashing scrutiny makes every marketing claim a liability
ESG regulatory frameworks — CSRD in Europe, SEC climate disclosure rules in the US — have made sustainability claims a legal and reputational risk. Vague language that felt harmless in 2019 now invites regulatory and investor scrutiny.
Enterprise procurement is slow while the climate window is short
Net zero commitments have created urgency at board level, but enterprise procurement processes haven't accelerated. Climate tech companies face the paradox of urgent market need and 12–18 month sales cycles.
Carbon market complexity creates buyer confusion
Voluntary vs compliance markets, Article 6 mechanisms, additionality, permanence, co-benefits — carbon market complexity confuses buyers and creates an education burden that most marketing budgets can't carry without the right content strategy.
What we actually do
How Heptism works for Climate Tech companies
Measurement-led positioning that survives scrutiny
We build positioning around quantifiable impact — tonnes of CO2 avoided, energy savings in kWh, verified methodology certifications — rather than aspirational language. The positioning that wins enterprise procurement is the one that can be put in a board ESG report.
Education-first content that accelerates buyer readiness
We produce the guides, frameworks, and explainers that help procurement teams understand your category before evaluating vendors. Content that makes your company the standard reference in its space — shortlisted before the RFP goes out.
Partnership and channel marketing for ecosystem growth
Climate tech distribution often runs through ESG consultants, ESCO partnerships, and corporate sustainability teams. We build the partner marketing infrastructure and co-selling content that turns ecosystem relationships into revenue.

Your questions.
Honest answers.
Do not see yours? Drop us a line. A real person replies within one business day.
01Can you help us navigate CSRD and SEC climate disclosure marketing?
Yes. Regulatory compliance is one of the strongest demand generation angles in climate tech right now — companies need to comply, they're researching solutions, and we capture them with content that explains the requirement and positions your platform as the answer.
02Do you understand voluntary carbon markets and Article 6?
Yes. Carbon market mechanics — VCM vs compliance, Verra vs Gold Standard, Article 6.2 and 6.4 — are areas we understand well enough to write content that buyers and investors trust.
03Can you help climate tech companies raise their Series A profile?
Yes. Investor visibility — building the thought leadership and media presence that gets climate tech founders onto investor radar — is a specific capability within our climate tech practice.
B2B SaaS & Software
Pipeline that scales with your product. Senior practitioners who've seen what works at seed, Series A, and Series B — and what looks good on a dashboard but doesn't close deals.
