ELEKS Launches PATH2CC to Offer Companies High-Quality and Trustworthy Offsetting Credits, Generated by Small Farms in Europe
October 2, 2025 — ELEKS has officially launched PATH2CC, a groundbreaking project co-funded by EIT Food. The initiative helps our clients advance toward their Net Zero goals, while empowering small farms to strengthen sustainability practices and unlock new pathways to financing and long-term resilience.
At ELEKS, we are committed to leveraging technology and innovation to address global social and environmental challenges. We recognise our responsibility to contribute to Net Zero goals not only by reducing and offsetting our own carbon footprint, but also by developing meaningful, forward-thinking solutions that support our clients in reaching theirs. PATH2CC will do exactly that, while empowering smallholder farmers to access new financing opportunities in the green economy.

Addressing a Critical Gap in the Carbon Credit Market
The carbon credit market is facing growing scrutiny, with high-profile cases raising concerns about greenwashing. Too often, offsets are generated thousands of kilometres away from the actual source of emissions. This disconnect erodes trust, as companies purchase credits with little transparency or tangible impact on their own value chains and ecosystems.
PATH2CC tackles this challenge head-on by creating a model where buyers are directly connected to the generators of carbon credits.
The result is a win-win: farmers receive support to adopt regenerative practices, while companies gain access to trusted, traceable credits that strengthen both their climate performance and value chain resilience.
Unlocking the Carbon Market Gap for Small-Scale European Farmers
While agriculture is one of the most climate-affected and environmentally impactful industries, smallholder farms often lack access to carbon credit mechanisms that could reward them for sustainable practices. PATH2CC aims to fill this gap by:
Developing a simple methodology to help farms measure and verify carbon savings.
Designing pathways for farmers to participate in carbon markets.
Strengthening resilience by enabling new financing opportunities for rural communities.
ELEKS’ Commitment to Sustainability
In 2024, ELEKS initiated its sustainability transformation journey by adopting an ESG policy and aligning its reporting with the CSRD framework. As the company sets ambitious Net Zero targets, it acknowledges the role of data centre emissions and the importance of carbon offsetting in accelerating progress toward its goals.
With deep roots in Ukraine — a region where agriculture plays a vital role in both society and the economy — ELEKS views PATH2CC as a commitment to both environmental and social responsibility.
We aspire to be a role model not only in the tech sector but across industries, added Skladanivskyy. Through projects like PATH2CC, we aim to demonstrate the power of public-private partnerships and science-driven innovation in shaping a more sustainable future.

Right from the start, we really liked ELEKS’ commitment and engagement. They came to us with their best people to try to understand our context, our business idea, and developed the first prototype with us. They were very professional and very customer oriented. I think, without ELEKS it probably would not have been possible to have such a successful product in such a short period of time.
