Netzero Protocol

At NetZero Protocol, we tackle global challenges—from sustainable smart cities, climate risk to circular economy, and portfolio decarbonisation. With our deep expertise in Sustainable finance. We go beyond ticking regulatory boxes to empower clients and society with actionable, evidence-based insights for a better future. Backed by European Space Agency , Google, Nvidia, and Chainlink, we help institutions capture opportunities, mitigate risk, and drive meaningful climate impact on the path to net zero.

The Challenge

The widespread issue of greenwashing has eroded trust in the Financial Services sector. It is due to vague and inconsistent terminology like ‘green’, ‘ESG’, and ‘sustainable’, investors struggle to verify the authenticity of sustainability claims.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of United Kingdom has established a new sustainability disclosure and labelling regime to increase transparency and trust in sustainable investment products.
The FCA’s response includes implementing unambiguous, honest sustainability claims, applying specific criteria for product labels, and enforcing strict naming and marketing standards for sustainable investments, thereby aiming to restore investor confidence and clarity in the sustainable investment market.

Data Gaps & Greenwashing: 71% of institutional investors cite poor data quality as a barrier. Annual self-reported ESG metrics are often outdated, incomplete, or unreliable.
Regulatory Pressure: UK’s SDR, EU’s SFDR/CSRD, impending SEC climate disclosure rules. Institutions must measure both financial exposure and their own environmental impact.

The Solution

Our proposed idea is to build metrics, measurement systems, insights and indices to address key challenges highlighted by the FCA. The objective is to improve transparency, trust and integrity of ESG indicators in the financial services industry.

Satellite Data Integration:

Measuring atmospheric emissions (GHG), land-use change, water pollution, and biomass at the asset or regional level.
Partnerships with the European Space Agency and GHG Sat to access high-resolution imagery.

AI-Powered Insights:

A bespoke enterprise grade generative AI interface fine-tuned for Financial Services queries.
Ability to “ask” the system in plain language (e.g. “Which holdings contribute most to methane emissions?”) and receive actionable dashboards.
Explainability: The system cites underlying data sources, building trust with compliance teams.

Double Materiality:

Evaluates both (1) how environmental risks affect the portfolio and (2) the portfolio’s impact on the environment.
Aligns with upcoming EU requirements (PAI indicators) and resonates with UK/EU regulators.

The Importance

“Netzero Protocol Delivers Objective, Near real-time Insights Mapped to Investor Needs.”

Unlike traditional ESG rating agencies that rely heavily on self-reported corporate data, we use objective observations from space, validated by AI, ensuring near real-time alerts and robust compliance support.

Next steps

At NetZero Protocol, we see a financial services industry that’s not just reactive to change but a catalyst for transformation.

For Asset Owners: To inspire confidence through clarity and precision.
For Clients: To deliver portfolios that achieve more than financial returns.
For Regulators: To set new benchmarks for trust and transparency.

The Global Commission on Adaptation (GCA) found that a $1.8 trillion investment in adaptation actions by 2030 could yield more than $7 trillion in economic benefits and avoided costs from responding to the impacts of climate change – USAID.

Together, we can ensure the financial decisions of today create a thriving planet for tomorrow. Because sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s the foundation of a resilient global economy.
