At NZDPU, our mission is to provide a trusted, central source of company-level climate data that is transparent and openly accessible to all. Our efforts started in 2022 when the Climate Data Steering Committee published recommendations for the development of a unified, global, open climate data repository. A proof of concept of the Net-Zero Data Public Utility was launched during the UN’s Climate Change Conference (COP28) and with an expansion to over 12,000 companies during London Climate Action Week this year and is publicly accessible at nzdpu.com.
Over the past 3 years, we have focused on building the first product of its kind – a home for a wide set of historical company climate transition-related data, freely accessible to everyone – and securing our first source of data. As we start to lay out the work for the next few years, we are working to significantly expand our network of data providers as we continue to grow global coverage and access of the platform.
