Zeroe

We’re exhibiting at GITEX Asia in Singapore on 9 & 10 April 2026. GITEX Asia has quickly become one of the region’s key technology gatherings, bringing together enterprises, innovators, investors, and digital leaders to explore how new technologies are being applied across industries. The 2026 event takes place at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. We’re going because the challenge facing enterprises is no longer access to data. It is what happens next. Across supply chain and logistics, energy, financial services, and sustainability, critical decisions are still slowed down by fragmented systems, disconnected workflows, spreadsheets, documents, and context scattered across the business. Zeroe was built to solve that. We have built a decision layer that helps organizations collect different types of data from multiple sources, preserve the context around that data, and convert it into something usable, trusted, and auditable. That means teams can move from messy inputs to informed decisions with greater confidence. If you’re attending GITEX Asia and work in supply chain and logistics, energy, financial services, or sustainability, come and have a chat with us or reach out to Igor Cyrino who will be on the ground. We’d love to speak with teams that are trying to make better decisions with better infrastructure underneath them.

At Zeroe’s ESG Practitioners Forum held earlier this month, Kapal Api Group shared a perspective that deserves more attention: Their ESG work did not begin in a sustainability department. It sat under 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Why? Because the real challenge was not just producing a report. It was designing how the organization would work: who owns the data, who reviews it, who validates it, and how consistency is maintained across the business. One of the most honest moments in the session came when GHG data mapping was described as “the longest journey.” That matters, because when teams skip this work and go straight to calculation, the first thing at risk is not only accuracy. It is trust. And once internal confidence in the numbers starts to slip, adoption gets harder. 📌 Read the full summary to see how Kapal Api Group approached governance, role design, and implementation from day one: https://lnkd.in/dD2JR5gQ cc: Anisa Silvia, Zahra Marietta

It’s encouraging to see ICESCO’s first Inclusive Innovation Masterclass translated into a concrete, policy-led publication: The Role of Digital Technologies in Inclusive and Sustainable Development: Spotlight on SMEs and Cooperatives. The publication builds directly on expert discussions from the Masterclass hosted on November 3, 2025. We’re proud that our CEO, Farouk Jivani, Founder and CEO of Zeroe, was invited to present his session, “From Enterprise Proof to Inclusive Infrastructure,” and that ICESCO formally acknowledged his contribution to the panel and the resulting policy recommendations. ICESCO also acknowledged the wider group of speakers who informed the session, including Dr. Afreen Siddigi (MIT), Mr. Ebuka Queiva (Sustainability and ESG Senior Manager), and Dr. Aziz Mhandi (ACT for Community, OCP’s CSR initiative). 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗸’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 Farouk’s central message was that sustainability and inclusion scale on proof. 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻: ▪️ The real bottleneck is data. Across emerging markets, fragmented and inconsistent data creates a credibility gap that slows finance, policy, and market access. ▪️ Verification is the unlock. Audit trails, transparent methodologies, and versioned data turn reporting into investment-grade evidence. The report reinforces this, emphasizing the need for robust data systems and verification frameworks so SMEs and cooperatives can prove conformity with sustainability and financial standards. ▪️ Enterprise-proof systems can become inclusive infrastructure The same architecture that helps large organizations produce traceable, audit-ready sustainability data can be extended as shared verification layers that SMEs and cooperatives can plug into. ▪️ Progressive adoption beats perfection Start with what data exists, build maturity over time, and align incentives so participation is sustainable. This mimics what Ezzeddine Jradi was saying in his conversation with Farouk in Episode 2 of our 2026 webinar series: watch it here: https://lnkd.in/dhya9f-S ▪️ Interoperability reduces framework fatigue Instead of adding more reporting burden, build systems that translate between frameworks so sustainability data stays consistent, minimal, and usable.

Sustainability teams are often perceived as the people asking for “more data.” In Episode 2 of Zeroe[IN] Live, Ezzeddine Jradi shared a reframing that changes the conversation entirely: the job is not collecting data, thats operational - in the bigger picture: it is democratizing sustainability, making it understandable and digestible across the business. Because every function already has KPIs and targets. What is usually missing is clarity on the specific decisions within finance, procurement, HR, and operations that actually move sustainability metrics. What worked for them: Create a safe environment for contribution using mechanisms that already exist, such as Innovation Weeks and hackathons. Then bring ideas back, quantify their impact, and show teams how the needle moved. That is how sustainability becomes shared ownership, not a shared burden. 🎥 Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/dcK-vXXR

Most enterprises are past “ESG awareness.” They are now in the phase where regulations, standards, and frameworks force reporting and data collection at scale, and the next question is unavoidable. So what? This article captures a practical conversation between Farouk Jivani (CEO, Zeroe) and Ezzeddine Jradi (Emicool) on what it takes to move from sustainability reporting as a yearly exercise, to sustainability as a decision system embedded in how the company runs. 👉𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚: 𝙝𝙩𝙩𝙥𝙨://𝙯𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙚.𝙞𝙤/𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙜/𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚-2-𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙥-𝙬𝙝𝙮-𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮-𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨-𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩-𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩-𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 If you read it, you will walk away with: ▪️ The real inflection point in sustainability maturity, the moment the business starts asking what the numbers mean, and what should change because of them ▪️ How to manufacture “So what?” moments without burning out the organization, by democratizing sustainability and linking it to existing targets in finance, procurement, HR, and operations ▪️ A clear signal that sustainability is genuinely embedded, when other teams proactively initiate sustainability-linked decisions (green financing is a standout example) ▪️ The hidden bottleneck behind most stalled programs, the unmapped journey between business activity and decision-grade sustainability data (often trapped inside invoices and operational records) ▪️ Why spreadsheets fail at scale, repeat work, inconsistent methods, fragile handovers, and low ownership ▪️ The difference between a sustainability tool and a sustainability product, whether it actually enables decision change, not just dashboards ▪️ What “decision-grade” really means in practice: context, granularity, reverse engineering business events from data, and running simulations before decisions are made A closing mindset shift that matters for leadership adoption, use data to build trend literacy and alignment, not to police teams If you are trying to turn sustainability from reporting into performance, this is worth your time. 👉 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dcK-vXXR

Sustainability doesn’t fail because of tools. It fails when it stays a reporting function. The real shift happens when sustainability becomes a system owned, trusted, and embedded into how decisions are made. On 25 Feb | 11 am GST (online), I’m joining Farouk Jivani (Founder & CEO, Zeroe) for a short executive dialogue: Why Sustainability Fails Without Product Thinking From Spreadsheets to Systems. If you sit at the intersection of ESG, strategy, operations, or data, this one is for you.

An important snippet from episode 1 of our 2026 webinar series: "The Work Before The Report": Igor Cyrino breaks down why sustainability reporting feels so painful in practice, and what it takes to make it repeatable. You will learn the three core sources of reporting friction: ⚫ Internal silos and role confusion ⚫ External complexity across suppliers and entities, and ⚫ The “source gap” that breaks traceability and trust between raw data and the final report. Using Scope 3 as the example, he shows how reporting quickly turns into a multi-department, multi-format coordination challenge, and why “the report” is only the downstream output. The key takeaway is a mindset shift: focus on strengthening upstream data processes and infrastructure so reporting becomes faster, defensible, and far less manual.

UPCOMING WEBINAR | EP 3 - Starting GHG Right - What to Design Early PT Kapal Api Global asked the right questions first. Before any calculation, they designed their governance structure, mapped their data sources, and defined ownership across functions. That discipline is what made their implementation scale. In Episode 3 of the ZeroeIN Live Webinar Series of 2026, Zeroe's Zahra Marietta sits down with Anisa Silvia from Kapal Api Group for an honest practitioner conversation on what it actually takes to start GHG right. If you're planning your first ESG implementation - or rebuilding one that stalled - this is the conversation to join. 📅 4 March 2026 | 2:00 PM Jakarta 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dEDvGQ9d

I’ve sat in too many rooms where the ESG report was solid and nothing operational changed. The data was there. The dashboards were built. The disclosures were submitted. But adoption didn’t shift. Behaviour didn’t change. Decisions didn’t move. That’s exactly what we’ll unpack in Episode 2 of our Zeroe webinar series with EMICOOL. Farouk Jivani and Ezzeddine Jradi will walk through a real operational moment where reporting was happening yet sustainability hadn’t become embedded in how the business actually ran. The real inflection point isn’t better reporting. It’s when sustainability becomes a board-level mechanism. (And yes, I’ll keep repeating that until it sticks.) If you’re dealing with scattered data, unclear ownership, or low internal adoption, this discussion will resonate. 📅 Feb 25 | 11am GST - Link in comments ⬇️ #ESG #ExecutiveLeadership #Sustainability #EnterpriseTransformation

Most sustainability programmes still run on spreadsheets, dashboards, and reporting cycles. The outputs get produced, but decision-making stays unchanged. Episode 2️⃣ of our 2026 webinar series is a story-led executive dialogue between Farouk Jivani and Ezzeddine Jradi - Why Sustainability Fails Without Product Thinking. They will start with a real operational moment inside an organisation where reporting was happening, yet adoption and behaviour did not shift. From there, they will unpack what it takes to turn sustainability data into a system people trust and use, clear ownership, feedback loops, governance, and decision integration. The session lands one core point: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺, connected to how the business runs, how leaders make decisions, and how progress gets repeated at scale. If you are dealing with scattered data, unclear ownership, low adoption, or slow auditability, this will be directly relevant. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dQRdCDj5
