Context

There is a clear relationship between greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and global GDP. The higher the GDP growth, the higher the GHG emissions.

The economic crisis of the 1980s, the emerging market crisis of the 1990s and the subprime crisis of 2008 affected the global economy, reducing GDP growth and greenhouse gas emissions.

Purpose

At Occatu, we believe that true prosperity lies in harmony with the planet. Our purpose is to support human progress in a sustainable way, as this is vital for the perpetuation of our species.

We work to decouple greenhouse gas production from economic growth, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.

We offer specialized consultancy and accessible technological tools so that companies can reduce their emissions and adopt sustainable practices.
