The Solutions Explorer enables business, public authorities, and individuals to identify and implement solutions tailored to their climate objectives, offering user-friendly filtering based on various criteria such as sectors, environmental benefits, and technologies. The Foundation targets a diverse clientele, including government agencies, corporations, and nonprofits across Europe, North America, and emerging markets, all seeking effective strategies to enhance sustainability practices and meet their carbon neutrality goals.

Transactions generally arise from collaboration agreements, grants, and contributions from institutional and private donors, which support the Foundation’s initiatives and the operational costs of the Solutions Explorer platform. While specific pricing plans for individual services are not disclosed, the engagement typically includes sponsorships and memberships within the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions, facilitating access to the Foundation's resources and expertise. The focus remains on enhancing the visibility and adoption of environmentally sustainable technologies rather than generating revenue from traditional sales.
