Empowering profitable investments in a net zero future
About us
Zerolytics helps financial institutions scale credible, high-impact Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLLs) by ensuring that Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs) are both ambitious and rigorously validated. As scrutiny on greenwashing and regulatory compliance increases, our data-driven approach strengthens SPT credibility while linking sustainability efforts to financial performance.
Built on Financial Digital Twins and system dynamics, our platform models real-world transition pathways, assesses external risk factors, and calculates the probability of achieving NZ-goals and SPTs. By replacing simplistic trend extrapolations with company-specific insights, we provide financial institutions with a robust foundation for structuring SLLs, improving risk management, and ensuring alignment with ICMA and LMA principles.
Beyond SLLs, Zerolytics also supports financial decision-makers in asset management, engagement, and sustainability risk assessment, offering quantitative clarity on corporate transition plans and their financial implications. Whether you're scaling SLLs, mitigating greenwashing risks, or navigating corporate sustainability strategies, Zerolytics will deliver the needed insights.
Our team
The rapidly expanding Zerolytics team, based in Oslo, Norway, is comprised of seasoned industry experts, software developers, modelers, AI specialists, and a team of analysts with deep insights into climate transition and net zero plans. This includes CFA Charterholders and analysts with experience from NBIM (Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund), collectively enhancing our expertise.
