Data is the missing layer in sustainable finance
There is an ocean of available capital seeking to support the transition to net zero. But the lack of scalable, trusted data flows is leading to misallocation of resources, missed opportunities, and catastrophic risks on global balance sheets. IB1’s Trust Framework approach creates the data infrastructure that connects energy, emissions, and financial data under common governance.
Assurable data for lenders
Banks and financial institutions need trusted, comparable emissions data to inform lending decisions and meet disclosure requirements. IB1’s approach automates this at scale, removing the need for manual reporting and consultants.
Cross-sector data flows
Sustainable finance requires data from energy, transport, built world, and other sectors to flow into financial products and services. IB1’s federated Trust Framework enables this without centralising the data.
Open Banking integration
IB1 is exploring integration with Open Banking so that Financial Service Providers participating in both schemes can rely on Open Banking for organisational identity and know-your-business checks, reducing duplication.
Regulatory alignment
IB1 engages with the FCA, DESNZ, Cabinet Office, and other bodies to ensure schemes are aligned with current and anticipated regulation, including the UK Data (Use and Access) Act and Smart Data frameworks.
