VertZéro is an automated greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory solution developed by Vietnamese tech giant FPT Corporation. This innovation measures emission levels and supports reduction planning, aligning with global efforts toward achieving Net Zero goals.

FPT IS created VertZéro, a software platform that helps businesses track, calculate, and manage carbon emissions. It enables organizations to measure, monitor, and mitigate their GHG output in compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. By integrating advanced AI and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technologies, VertZéro automatically extracts data from documents such as invoices and reports, then analyzes and forecasts emission trends.

A key feature of VertZéro is its ability to calculate emissions across all three internationally recognized scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) in line with global standards like the GHG Protocol and IPCC guidelines. This ensures the accuracy and comprehensiveness of emission reports.

The software also supports emission forecasting and reduction planning based on Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards, helping enterprises craft long-term sustainability strategies. By automating over 80% of the GHG inventory process — from data collection and emissions factor updates to generating analytical reports — VertZéro significantly reduces inventory time from several weeks to just a few days. This is made possible through seamless API integration with internal enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, building management, and infrastructure operation platforms).

VertZéro is an automated greenhouse gas inventory technology developed by FPT Corporation.

Unlike traditional manual methods based on estimates, VertZéro enables full automation of emission tracking and environmental impact management. It offers branch-specific insights, allowing businesses to set tailored emission reduction targets based on regional characteristics. With a transparent, data-driven approach, VertZéro adheres to international inventory standards such as the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 — a globally recognized framework for ensuring inventory precision.

This Vietnamese technology has earned multiple accolades at home and abroad. Notable awards include the 2024 Stevie Award for Technology Excellence and the 2024 Sao Khue Award. Most recently, VertZéro was recognized among the Top 10 Innovative Products of Ho Chi Minh City in 2025.

As part of broader green transition strategies, VertZéro goes beyond measurement — it acts as a strategic advisor. The platform provides actionable insights based on real-world data, from optimizing energy use (e.g., lighting, HVAC systems) and transitioning to cleaner transportation to adopting renewable energy solutions like solar power and initiating long-term efforts such as afforestation or clean production technologies.

Each recommendation is tailored to match an enterprise’s operational realities, investment capacity, and staged Net Zero goals. By doing so, VertZéro plays a pivotal role in integrating climate governance into business operations and financial planning — marking a critical step toward sustainable development.
