Our Foundation

Built to help African companies lead their own climate resilience.

180Pi is climate data infrastructure for African business. We give African companies the same quality of climate data that institutions already expect everywhere else, built for the unique conditions they operate in.

Our Vision

Sustainable African Leadership

African companies lead their own climate resilience. They hold the data infrastructure, sustainability reports, and climate roadmaps that open green finance on their terms.

Our Mission

Building the Infrastructure

We build the data infrastructure that turns company sustainability information into structured reports, climate risk assessments, and mitigation and adaptation roadmaps. Each output moves a company closer to funding.

Why We Exist

Companies lack structured, credible data, and capital cannot move without it.

#1 Companies

Have no practical way to translate daily operations into clear, usable information, or to engage with capital providers. Reporting became a cost that returned nothing.

#2 Institutions

Data quality constrains the pipeline for climate and sustainable finance. Company information arrives unstructured and inconsistent, in formats that resist comparison and due diligence at scale.

Structured data changes the equation for both sides.

A report built on standardised definitions and local emission factors becomes the packaging that capital needs. We built 180Pi to be the company layer between capital and African SMEs.

How We Work

Three principles guide everything we build.

01

Infrastructure-first

We generate standardised data that holds up in financing decisions. A lender in Nairobi and an investor in London read the same report structure.

02

Built for African realities

Our methodology fits low-data SME environments, with country-specific emission factors and controlled estimation methods. Pilots are running with agriculture SMEs in Malawi and Kenya.

03

Designed for both sides of the market

Companies produce information they can take to lenders and partners. Institutions receive comparable data across every company they support.

The People Behind 180Pi

Built by people who have moved climate capital.

180Pi was founded by Maha Chairi, who brings over 12 years of experience in climate finance across frontier markets. Our team combines technical expertise in GHG accounting with a deep understanding of institutional investor requirements.
