The growing demand for transparency on sustainability issues among corporations' supply chains in India highlights the awareness of environmental responsibility, which has led to initiatives like Net Zero Pro. Born from the urgency of the climate crisis, the firm represents a proactive response to the pressing challenges. As businesses strive to meet sustainability targets, this platform empowers clients to measure, analyze, and take action on their ESG impact. By facilitating collaboration and data-driven decision-making, Net Zero Pro accelerates progress toward a net zero emissions future, mitigating the consequences of climate change and safeguarding the planet for future generations.
"Commencing in 2022, we have engaged with clients spanning four continents. These clients primarily operate in sectors such as steel, aluminum, copper, logistics, piping, pharmaceuticals, and packaging industries. Our services helped them quantify their carbon footprint and overall ESG impact. Furthermore, we have aided in developing net zero targets or roadmaps to guide them towards achieving their sustainability objectives", says Durgesh Maru, Co-Founder.
The Path to Sustainability
Net Zero Pro adeptly addresses both Indian and international compliance and reporting frameworks, including GRI, SASB, CDP, EcoVadis, CSRD, TCFD and SEBI’s BRSR. Additionally, the software solution offered by the firm helps organizations measure, report and act on their carbon footprint & ESG performance. The software automates data collection, analytics and reporting as per globally recognized standards and frameworks.
Clients input data via three channels: through an intuitive user interface for manual data input, bulk Excel sheet uploads, and direct API connections to their ERP systems. The collected data fuels intuitive dashboards, allowing clients to monitor their carbon footprint and ESG performance over time. This enables them to effectively assess alignment with net zero targets and track progress against their goals.
"Our unique solutions aim to help companies collaborate and accelerate their actions on ESG commitments in the most digitized, process-efficient, and cost-effective manner. Our goal is to support companies in achieving equitable, profitable, and sustainable growth", says Durgesh.
Moreover, Net Zero Pro provides technical expertise to help better understand and interpret data through services like scope 3 supply chain management, materiality assessment, and more. The platform also has ready-to-use templates for data collection and mapping across these standards, streamlining report generation.
