Company Overview

CLIMACT

Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

Not disclosed

Approximately 50 employees (source: linkedin.com).

What They Do

Climact is a Belgian consulting firm specializing in climate change mitigation, energy transition strategies, and sustainability consulting services. The company focuses on consulting services rather than hardware technologies such as solar or wind, offering comprehensive strategies, roadmaps, legal and regulatory advice, as well as voluntary impact measurement solutions (source: climact.com). Climact primarily targets businesses, governments, and organizations in Belgium, as well as across Europe, facing decarbonization needs, providing policy analyses and pragmatic solutions to address climate change challenges (source: climact.com). One of Climact's distinctive tools is its Pathways Explorer simulator, which models sectoral decarbonization scenarios using updated historical trends and technological potentials, criticizing Belgian policies as insufficient to meet net-zero emission targets by 2050 (source: climact.com).

Projects and Background

Although Climact does not disclose specific projects with names, locations, or capacities, the company collaborates with the Federal Planning Bureau on national climate modeling, revealing that the promised measures are insufficient, such as an energy consumption reduction of only -8% compared to the EU target of -11.7% by 2030 (source: climact.com). Ongoing work includes simulations forecasting a tripling of wind capacity and a doubling of solar capacity by 2030 in Belgium, while warning of a potential doubling of gas capacity by 2050, which raises energy security risks (source: climact.com). Key clients and partnerships involve Belgian federal and regional policymakers, as evidenced by the joint analysis of commitments submitted to the UN in June 2023, but no private clients or international partnerships are specified (source: climact.com).

Recent Developments

Over the past two years, Climact has published an analysis with the Federal Planning Bureau showing that Belgium's climate policies are not aligned with net-zero emission targets, including sectoral gaps such as insufficient decarbonization beyond building renovations (source: climact.com). The company has also announced its move to new offices in Brussels, improving access to EU institutions and opportunities in energy strategy and regulatory consulting (source: climact.com). Climact has highlighted the evolution of Belgium's energy strategy, shifting from nuclear phase-out to potential increases in gas capacity, while commenting on the European Industrial Pact for industry competitiveness (source: climact.com).

Working with Them

Roles at Climact likely cover departments in strategy development consulting, climate modeling, legal and regulatory advice, as well as impact measurement, although specific openings or departmental breakdowns are not listed (source: climact.com). Recruitment appears to focus on Louvain-la-Neuve and the new Brussels office, in line with its Belgian operations and expansion (source: climact.com). Indicators of company culture include a mission-driven communication approach, ensuring alignment with energy sustainability goals and adding value for clients (source: climact.com).

  • A proven track record of winning clients and managing commercial relationships
  • An established network in Flemish corporate and industrial circles
  • An entrepreneurial mindset: resilient, creative, results-driven, and comfortable with autonomy
  • Genuine interest in the energy transition and the policy landscape shaping it
  • Strong listening and communication skills, you know how to understand a client's real needs and translate them into solutions
  • Native Dutch speaker or equivalent, with fluent English

What We Offer

  • Flexible working arrangements: hybrid, home working, flexible hours
