Background:
Icebreaker One and Bankers for Net Zero (B4NZ) are developing Perseus, a pragmatic whole-of-market solution to create rapidly scalable, low-effort, low-friction sustainability reporting. This aims to help unlock access to capital by automating GHG reporting for every SME in the country. Starting with SMEs, UK banks and energy companies, it will create a common framework and operational delivery of a solution that will begin to automate GHG reporting for every SME in the UK.
Perseus is backed by the UK Government with the initiative included in the Green Finance Strategy 2023. Further information on Perseus is available here — https://ib1.org/perseus
