SME Spotlight: Climekare Sustainability Partners with EBTC to Advance India’s Low-Carbon Future

Jodhpur: As sustainability shifts from being a regulatory requirement to a strategic business priority, Indian climate-tech firms are stepping up to help industries navigate the transition. In a significant development for the country’s green economy, Climekare Sustainability Private Limited (CSPL) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the European Business and Technology Centre (EBTC) to strengthen collaboration on climate action, clean technologies and sustainable business transformation.

Signed on 5 June 2026, the partnership aims to accelerate India’s transition towards a low-carbon economy by combining European expertise with practical sustainability solutions tailored to Indian businesses. The collaboration is expected to help organisations adopt cleaner technologies, improve environmental performance and prepare for evolving global sustainability standards.

Driving Practical Sustainability

Founded as a climate and sustainability solutions company, Climekare Sustainability supports businesses through every stage of their sustainability journey—from advisory and carbon accounting to ESG reporting, renewable energy integration and decarbonisation strategies.

Rather than focusing solely on compliance, the company helps organisations develop long-term sustainability roadmaps that improve operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact.

Its client portfolio already includes several leading organisations across India’s energy, logistics, environmental and sustainability ecosystem, including Tata Power Trading Company Limited, EKI Energy Services Limited, Transport Corporation of India, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, ReConnect Energy Solutions, Customized Energy Solutions India, Climera Carbon, Stellapps Technologies and several other companies involved in renewable energy and carbon management.

Responding to Global Market Changes

The partnership comes at a time when sustainability has become a critical factor influencing investment decisions, international trade and corporate competitiveness.

Businesses exporting to global markets are increasingly required to comply with new environmental regulations such as the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). At the same time, India’s own sustainability reporting framework through Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) is encouraging companies to strengthen climate disclosures and ESG performance.

For many Indian businesses, particularly manufacturers and exporters, meeting these evolving requirements requires specialised expertise and practical implementation support.

The CSPL-EBTC partnership aims to address this growing need by facilitating knowledge exchange, promoting clean technology adoption and helping organisations build scalable decarbonisation strategies aligned with international standards.

Building Europe-India Collaboration

The European Business and Technology Centre has long served as a platform connecting European innovation with Indian industry across sectors including clean energy, sustainability, circular economy and green technologies.

Through the new collaboration, Indian businesses will gain greater access to European expertise, emerging technologies and international best practices while benefiting from Climekare’s local implementation capabilities.

The initiative is expected to support businesses across manufacturing, infrastructure, logistics, energy, real estate and export-oriented industries—sectors facing increasing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining global competitiveness.

Beyond regulatory compliance, the partnership seeks to improve operational efficiency, strengthen ESG performance and create measurable environmental and commercial outcomes.

Leadership Perspective

Commenting on the collaboration, Saurabh Sainger, Founder of Climekare Sustainability, described the agreement as an important milestone in the company’s mission to help Indian businesses accelerate their sustainability transformation.

He noted that sustainability has evolved into a strategic business imperative rather than simply a compliance requirement. By combining European innovation with practical implementation, the partnership aims to help organisations translate ambitious climate goals into measurable business value while contributing to India’s long-term Net Zero objectives.

Poul V. Jensen, Managing Director of EBTC, highlighted India’s rapidly evolving sustainability landscape, describing it as one of the world’s most dynamic economic transformations.

He said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that sustainable technologies are not only developed but also implemented at scale. According to Jensen, EBTC’s long-standing experience in facilitating Europe-India partnerships complements Climekare’s growing expertise in delivering practical climate solutions.

Backing from the Startup Ecosystem

The initiative has also received support from the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Sushil Sharma, Chairman of Marwari Catalysts Group, welcomed the partnership, saying collaborations between technology providers and international institutions will play an increasingly important role in promoting innovation, clean technology adoption and scalable climate solutions.

He added that such partnerships have the potential to generate both environmental and economic value while strengthening India’s sustainability ecosystem.

Opportunities for Indian Businesses

As global investors, customers and regulators place greater emphasis on environmental responsibility, businesses that proactively adopt sustainability strategies are expected to enjoy stronger market access and enhanced competitiveness.

For small and medium enterprises in particular, partnerships such as this could simplify access to climate expertise that has traditionally been available only to large corporations.

The collaboration between Climekare Sustainability and EBTC therefore represents more than a strategic agreement—it reflects the growing importance of sustainability as a driver of business resilience, innovation and international growth.

With India’s Net Zero ambitions gathering momentum and global climate regulations becoming increasingly stringent, initiatives that bridge international expertise with local execution are likely to play a crucial role in shaping the country’s next phase of sustainable industrial development.
