01 / BUILD WITH US

Joining Platform Zero means joining a working ecosystem, not a mailing list. Here is everything you can be part of, starting with what we stand for.

02 / THE DETAILS

What we stand for

Our mission: we are on a mission to create a better planet by scaling climate tech in the energy and maritime sector.

We are all about making a positive impact on the planet together with all the people around us. To make a real impact we dare to dream big and green. We are open and aim to treat both the planet as well as the people around us with the utmost respect. This means we are curious about the world, people and new tech, and we aim to enjoy the ride.

Create big impact

We strive for net positive. Thinking small won't get us there. We keep our eyes on the prize, thinking big and aiming high to make it happen. We prioritize lasting impact over short-term gains, and work with like-minded partners to add value where it matters.

Stay curious

Reaching net zero requires innovation. We stay open-minded to new approaches, consider different things and keep exploring. No one knows everything, so always assume there is more to learn. Be humble, explore, and stay curious.

Entrepreneurs mindset

We're ambitious and know that creating space for new solutions sometimes means parting with the old. We're not afraid to be bold and fight for what we believe in. We take the best way over the easy way, and keep pushing the envelope.

Diversity as a strength

Reaching net zero requires collaboration from all of us. Different people, with different worldviews, needs and experiences. We design for inclusivity, keeping things simple and accessible. We believe diversity leads to more impact.

Be a great human

We care for each other and we care for our planet. We treat each other and our surroundings with respect. We strive to be great human beings. We work towards net zero and push the envelope to get there, leading the way into a sustainable future. We make an effort and we do as we say.

GOOD COMPANY. SHARED AMBITION.

One community.
More possibility.
