Why it matters

A score that earns its keep on your P&L.

The GBS™ is more than a marketing line. It moves capital cost, tender outcomes and filing time - three places your CFO already cares about.

01

Investor-ready credibility

A comparable, audited score that ESG investors, lenders, and rating agencies already understand - no translation layer needed.

Same vocabulary as credit ratings

02

Lower cost of green capital

Partner banks price green-loans against your GBS™. Better score, better rate - the spread is real money on a real facility.

Up to −40 bps on green facilities

03

Tender & customer wins

Use your verified score in RFPs, customer audits, and procurement qualifications. The same number, accepted across the value chain.

Reusable in audits & RFPs

04

Filings on autopilot

The data that drives your GBS™ is the same data your IFRS, CDP, GRI, CSRD filings need. One source. Multiple outputs.

5+ frameworks supported
