Asset Managers & Asset Owners

Persefoni was built to enable Asset Managers & Owners to calculate their investment portfolio’s Financed Emissions profile. With our platform, you can baseline your portfolio’s footprint, understand how to make science-based net-zero targets, and even engage your portfolio to decarbonization.

Baseline the carbon footprint of your portfolio

To achieve net-zero in your portfolio, you must understand your baseline. Persefoni’s financed emissions calculation capabilities enable you to do just that, using your own financial transaction data or portfolio company’s reported data.

Set net-zero targets based in science

Understanding what net-zero means for your portfolio is complicated. With Persefoni you can quickly align to the gold standard of trajectory modeling developed by SBTi, CDP, and WWF. Analyze your portfolio by fund, sector, or individual portfolio company and quickly align targets and reporting to 1.5C or 2C scenarios.

Ease stakeholder or LP reporting

Your stakeholders or LPs will increasingly ask not just for carbon disclosures from your investing activities but what you’re doing to decarbonize your portfolio over time. Persefoni takes care of the carbon calculations and reporting, so that you can focus on developing impactful sustainability strategies for your firm and portfolio.

Engage & support your portfolio companies

Your portfolio companies are looking to you for guidance and help on how to calculate and report on their carbon footprint. Our platform was specifically built to enable both asset managers/owners and portfolio companies to be able to perform carbon calculations and reporting in a common platform and framework.

Radically improved TCFD reporting

Asset managers and owners around the world are aligning to the TCFD framework for carbon and climate reporting. Persefoni’s financed emissions calculations are 100% in compliance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) frameworks, allowing you to provide trusted Scope 1, 2, & 3 footprint numbers for TCFD or other reporting schemes.

Getting to know Persefoni: Meet Ryohei Kawai

1. And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?" (Tell us your journey?)

I got hired by Persefoni by a stroke of luck. After working for many years as a freelance interpreter for clients, including some big showbiz names, and for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics & Paralympics for the most recent 2 years, I was “almost” hired by one of the world’s biggest entertainment entities from the US. As I was about to email them back saying I would take the job offer, my phone suddenly pinged. That was from a recruiter whom I had never heard of before (I didn’t even register with that agency). He introduced me to Persefoni and suggested I apply. Which I did. I don’t precisely know why I did it, but I know I was highly intrigued by Persefoni’s website and was very interested in the CEO’s Japanese-sounding name. The fact that I’m pretty conscious of being sustainable and am vegan(flexitarian) myself contributed to my decision to apply as well. Anyway, I applied for Persefoni thinking I would probably get turned down, but went through two interviews. Both those two interviewers (who eventually became my teammate and my supervisor) made me feel at home in a way I had never felt before in my professional life. I thought that if they are so incredibly nice, the company must be great, too. And the upshot of those interviews was that I become the second hire of the Japan Team. I feel incredibly fortunate.
