Our Story
Founded in 2009, Scope 5 was inspired by one central question: How can we live and work more sustainably?
During a long sailing trip, Scope 5 co-founder Yoram Bernet mused about how he could leave a better world for his two young sons.
He wondered what could be achieved if directors and executives were asking: How can business be more sustainable and more successful? Yoram knew the answers were abundantly available.
Leaning on his technical background and with the help of his partners who were experts in ESG data management, Scope 5 was born.
Now any business can drive valuable action by tracking emissions and ESG data, revealing opportunities for better resource use.
Companies and organizations of all sizes use Scope 5 sustainability data management and consulting solutions to gain powerful insights that save time and money in ways that are good for the planet.
