ALMA Sustainable Finance

ALMA SUSTANABLE

ALMA Sustainable Finance is a global debt platform that creatively deploys capital for sustainable development. ALMA uses real-time data and analytics to provide debt capital to high-growth companies in sustainable asset classes such as inclusive finance, cleantech, and carbon solutions. 

 

Building on ALMA’s expertise in carbon markets, blockchain, and fintech, ALMA realized that it could support its borrowers and other small businesses to easily, quickly, and impactfully go carbon neutral, which led to the launch of the MintZero platform in 2022. 

“We know that climate change is affecting all businesses, in all the regions where we operate.  In investigating our options, we quickly realized that the corporate carbon market is complicated and hard to navigate for small businesses like ourselves and our borrowers. This pushed us to launch the MintZero platform in 2022 to be able to offer low-cost, high-quality carbon credits to  startups and small businesses, starting with our own carbon neutral example.”
