Sydney, 11 September 2025: Pathzero has successfully completed an independent assurance audit of its award-winning climate analytics platform, Pathzero Navigator, marking a significant milestone in providing confidence and transparency to financial institutions managing climate risk.
The limited assurance audit, conducted by RSM Australia, assessed Navigator’s alignment to the global Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) methodology, as well as calculation accuracy and software change management processes.
“This audit is an important step forward in giving our customers additional confidence that Pathzero Navigator is built on robust methodology, accurate calculations, and rigorous governance processes,” said Carl Prins, co-founder and CEO of Pathzero. “Financial institutions are under increasing pressure to manage climate-related risk with integrity. Independent assurance provides a critical layer of trust in the data and insights they rely on.”
“Providing climate-aligned data that can stand up to scrutiny is core to our mission,” added Prins. “We understand that having auditable data is vital for mandatory reporting and therefore hold ourselves to the highest standards – so our clients can trust the integrity of the methodology, the accuracy of the calculations, and the governance behind every software change made.”
The review examined Pathzero Navigator’s implementation of PCAF principles, validated embedded formulae and financed-emissions calculations, assessed business rules and emissions-factor handling, and evaluated audit trails, access controls, and change-management governance.
The outcome reinforces Pathzero’s commitment to industry best practice and to supporting customers with reliable, decision-useful climate data.
This assurance builds on Pathzero’s ongoing innovation in climate risk management, including recent launches of capabilities to assess physical risk and to manage climate risk across private market exposures. Pathzero is trusted by four of the ten largest super funds in Australia to support their transition plans.
