Our take
TransitionZero is a data analytics and financial modelling company that provides consultation for companies trying to wind down their fossil fuel usage. Using AI software that aims to process and analyse real-time information flows, Transition Zero focuses on consulting and advising investors and decision-makers for large companies in finding the right financial strategies to reach Net Zero goals.
As an increasing number of large companies come under scrutiny for their carbon emissions, TransitionZero translates climate crisis realities into relatable language for large businesses. With transparency and time-sensitive reactivity at its core, TransitionZero is well-positioned to help companies understand and change the impact their emissions have on the world.
Founded by former employees at Carbon Tracker, founder Matt Gray and his team use similar strategies to their former company to present clear data on how businesses and governments can reach climate goals. With its analyses used in reporting by the BBC and Reuters in 2022, it’s no surprise that TransitionZero has received substantial funding from some of the leading NGO investors, including Bloomberg Philanthropic, Google.org, and the Quadrature Climate Foundation.
