As capital continues to flow to green tech projects, an efficient, verifiable carbon monitoring and reporting mechanism and platform is paramount to ensure climate financing is channeled appropriately. Developed markets like France are leading by example on the carbon disclosure front, passing policies that require all publicly listed companies to report their greenhouse gas output. Companies operating in our neck of the woods can expect a similar format in the next 2-5 years. A company that's not comprehensively measuring and reporting its carbon output today will have to do so tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">We built the company in the summer of 2022 after the outcomes of the COP26 conference in Glasgow showed us that the climate action front is growing beyond the EU, and with the past two global climate summits coming to the Mena region, that definitely increased our confidence in the potential of the regional climate tech ecosphere. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>E: <\/strong>How can the platform be integrated across different business sectors?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>FJ:<\/strong>Zeroe helps firms map out their organization and set their own operational and financial (emissions) boundaries, allowing them to plug into their existing tech stack \u2014 like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1877050919322549\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Enterprise Resource Planning<\/a> for construction firms for example.
