Unlocking Access and Deployment to Climate Finance

Zeroe’s SaaS platform allows companies to comprehensively measure emissions and report on decarbonization performance to a wide variety of stakeholders. As regulators, customers, and capital all increase, so does the pressure organisations face to measure and reduce their emissions. Zeroe provides enterprises with the tools and insights needed to not only understand and reduce their carbon footprint but also to align with sustainable finance frameworks, which are key to accessing the capital critical to this transition.

Zeroe's Vision for a Sustainable Future

Farouk Jivani, Founder and CEO of Zeroe, emphasises the importance of this funding in realising the company's vision: "The urgency to act on climate change has never been greater, and it will exponentially increase in the coming years. This investment is a testament to our commitment to driving tangible change. We're here to accelerate the enterprise decarbonization journey and unlock climate finance to fund the transition."
