Climate Earth Named No. 520 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List

Climate Earth Ranks No. 520 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Bringing Concrete Industry Innovation to the National Stage.

RICHMOND, Calif. — August 11, 2026 — Climate Earth, a leading provider of Environmental Product Declaration and carbon-native concrete software, announced today that it has ranked No. 520 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The recognition places Climate Earth among the nation’s most successful independent businesses and highlights the growing momentum behind innovation in the concrete and construction materials industry.

As Environmental Product Declarations, Global Warming Potential limits, and other low carbon requirements increasingly appear in project specifications, concrete producers are being asked to deliver more accurate environmental data without slowing production or making their existing workflows more complicated.

Climate Earth’s growth reflects the industry’s increasing investment in practical technology that helps producers meet these requirements, support their customers, and compete for new work.

“This recognition is bigger than Climate Earth. It is recognition of the concrete industry’s willingness to innovate and move forward,” said Karl Laughton, CEO of Climate Earth. “Concrete is essential to how our communities and infrastructure are built, and producers are proving that strong business performance and meaningful sustainability progress can advance together.

We are proud to represent the concrete industry on the Inc. 5000 list, and to help producers turn EPDs, GWP limits, and low carbon requirements into practical workflows, stronger customer relationships, and opportunities to win more work. The concrete industry is not standing still. It is innovating faster than ever before to meet changing market demands.”

Climate Earth’s expansion has been driven by our continued focus on making sustainability achievable and commercially valuable for concrete producers across ready mix, concrete masonry, precast, cement, CMU, aggregates, asphalt, dry mix, pavers, and supplementary cementitious materials.

The Inc. 5000 has also recognized construction and building-materials companies such as EquipmentShare, MudMixer, CDT Construction, BuildersMax, and Emery Sapp Construction, placing Climate Earth among a growing group of businesses advancing how the built environment operates.

“This ranking demonstrates that concrete sustainability is not a niche initiative. It is becoming an important part of how the industry does business,” Laughton added. “Producers are preparing for the future, adopting better tools, and showing their customers that concrete can continue to lead as project expectations evolve.”

Among the 5,000 companies on the 2026 list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%. Collectively, the honorees added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy during the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision-making, and a refusal to sit still,” said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance. It reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
