ZeroPact is building the intelligence infrastructure behind a new layer of global commerce: scientifically grounded environmental information for products, logistics and claims.

Demand for carbon and environmental information is rising fast. European regulation is phasing in new rules: ESPR and its product-specific Digital Product Passports, and the Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo) on environmental claims. Large corporations pursuing net-zero and Scope 3 targets now send data requests through procurement to their whole supplier base. Today, more than 8 billion products and over 20 million parcel deliveries every day sit inside this rising demand.

The curve on this slide is a concept, not a market forecast. Demand is accelerating, and the ability to produce credible environmental information is not keeping pace.

Our prediction: environmental information will follow almost every product and service, as naturally as its price, origin or ingredients.

This is a strategic view, not a statement of current law. Today, obligations differ by product category, and not every product passport needs a full LCA. The direction of travel, however, is clear.

Most environmental assessments are still built by hand, one product at a time. Specialists collect fragmented supplier data, consultants model each product separately, and the result is a static report that is out of date as soon as the product changes.

That model works for a handful of flagship products. It breaks for portfolios of thousands of SKUs. The gap between demand and capacity is the commercial opportunity.

ZeroPact has built an AI-powered carbon and environmental intelligence infrastructure. It automates the assessment work that specialists traditionally do by hand, so environmental information can be produced at portfolio scale.

The status quo is consulting: one product, one project, one report. It is linear, static, and starts again from zero every time a product changes — and the revenue ends the moment the report ships.

ZeroPact disrupts that model with an engine instead of a report: delivered through enterprise subscriptions, APIs and embedded integrations, white-label partnerships and usage-based assessments. Buyers are manufacturers, retailers, PXM platforms, enterprise systems and logistics operators who need product-level environmental data continuously, not once. Embedded distribution turns each integration into a recurring relationship that compounds with every product and every service.

Take a product: a sneaker. ZeroPact breaks it down into materials, manufacturing processes, suppliers, geography, energy, transport and lifecycle stages. It then works in five steps: Understand the product data, Enrich gaps with evidence, Model the lifecycle with compatible scientific processes, Calculate impacts with controlled methods, and Trace every source and decision.

AI supports interpretation and model construction. Controlled scientific methods calculate the environmental impacts. AI never invents emission figures. Evidence supports traceability. The advantage is not one algorithm. It is the whole system: product understanding, environmental science, evidence, industrial infrastructure, and knowledge that builds up with every product processed.

Under the hood: AI-assisted product interpretation, evidence-led enrichment, semantic process matching constrained by physical and methodological compatibility, environmental inventory datasets (ecoinvent), Brightway-supported lifecycle modelling, methodological rules, and versioned, reproducible records. The sneaker is illustrative, not a customer result.

ZeroPact already operates in three commercial markets. Product Environmental Intelligence: automated PCF, LCA and product environmental information. Logistics Emissions Intelligence: GLEC-aligned, parcel-level emissions measurement and reporting. Environmental Claims Intelligence: TRACE, the claims compliance and governance platform.

The three share reusable data, AI, evidence, governance and integration capabilities, and each uses its own domain engine and methodology. ZeroPact sells through enterprise SaaS, APIs, white-label infrastructure, usage-based assessments, enterprise reporting and software partnerships. Next: new carbon and environmental intelligence applications wherever demand outpaces existing solutions.

The engine has performed more than 200,000 LCA calculations. The automated calculation backend is ISO 14067 compliant and verified by SGS. This covers the methodology and backend, not individual certification of each calculation.

Enterprise references include Altice Labs, El Corte Inglés, Sogrape and COLEP Consumer Products. ZeroPact won El Corte Inglés' Most Innovative Retail Solution award in 2024.

ZeroPact's logistics intelligence measures emissions for more than 2 million parcel deliveries every month, with GLEC-aligned reporting. CTT is the flagship reference — recognised by Amazon as leading CO₂ reporting worldwide.

The prospective pipeline exceeds one billion deliveries a year. This is pipeline, not current processing volume or contracted revenue.

The Empowering Consumers Directive (EmpCo) tightens the rules on generic environmental claims. TRACE helps companies detect claims, assess them, link them to evidence and govern them before they reach the market.

The slide shows TRACE at work on an example product page. Detect: it flags written claims ("made from 62% recycled materials", "100% carbon neutral") and a visual claim on the product's eco-friendly hangtag. Substantiate: it links each claim to evidence (an ISO 14067 LCA, a recycled-material certificate), exposes what is missing and suggests safer wording. Govern: every decision is recorded until the claim is approved by the sustainability lead.

TRACE has launched. The product page, figures and approval shown are an illustrative example, not customer data.

This is just the core team. ZeroPact is led by co-founders João Morgado (Chief Executive Officer) and Luís G. Branco (Chief Growth Officer), with Paulo Almeida (CTO), Diogo Simão (Head of AI & Data Science) and Dianka Alexieva (LCA Data Scientist).

Their track record spans Google, Microsoft, Amazon, BCG, EY, Groupon, ComparaJá and Santander. Together they bring Big Tech engineering and AI, top-tier consulting, founder-level operating experience and LCA environmental science: more than 80 years of combined experience. The company is being built out around this core.

Carbon and environmental intelligence is becoming a new layer of global commerce. ZeroPact has already activated three markets and is building the infrastructure to serve many more carbon and environmental intelligence applications.
