| We are a group of people passionate about sustainability and with experience in developing digital products and supporting companies to transform their business. We are combining our strengths in order to help organisations transition to sustainable business practices effectively.Regulations are forcing companies globally to report on theirsustainability. This demand for transparency is creating a huge headache. Our SaaS platform helps organisations collect and manage all their sustainability-related data in one place, both internally and across their stakeholders. With Pelt8, firms can evaluate their impact and automate sustainability reporting.We go one step further; with our APIs clients can not only integrate Pelt8 with their system landscape, but also connect to a growing ecosystem of sustainability solutions (i.e. carbon calculation tools but also not yet popularised water or biodiversity footprints). We have been nominated as one of the "Top 5 Early Stage Fintech Startups" in Switzerland by the Swiss Fintech Awards (Accenture & Finanz und Wirtschaft)Pelt8's mission is to unlock a company’s sustainability potential. We offer an all-in-one platform for companies to collect data in the most effective way from their organisation and stakeholders (suppliers/portfolio companies) to respond to these requests for disclosures. To make this more effective our SaaS platform helps our clients understand their reporting requirements & frameworks, leverage existing data collection processes for ESG (i.e. quality, health and safety…), Identify & remove data-collection overlaps while increasing their data quality and auditability. Reports are exportable reports with 1-click & we enable the collection of data from stakeholders (suppliers, clients, investees...) with questionnaires they can reuse for other disclosure requests. For additional data insights, we partner with the best sustainability solutions providers on the market to plug their solutions onto Pelt8 using data already collected for compliance purposes, to fulfill additional use cases such as carbon emissions calculations.We have been nominated as one of the "Top 5 Early Stage Fintech Startups" in Switzerland by the Swiss Fintech Awards (Accenture & Finanz und Wirtschaft) | Seed / Sep 25, 2024 | ||
