Deepki achieves ISAE 3000 Type 2 attestation

Published

By

The new attestation meets financial-level assurance standards and makes Deepki the world’s first sustainability platform to achieve this standard

PARIS, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Deepki, the leading sustainability SaaS solution, announces today that it has successfully attained ISAE 3000 Type 2 attestation, reinforcing its standing as the most trusted sustainability platform in the industry. This marks another milestone in its commitment to providing audit-ready data at an enterprise level to customers. ISAE 3000 Type 2 attestation ensures that sustainability data is held to the same rigorous assurance standards as financial information, to guide strategic business decisions and comply with non-financial regulation, while providing reliable data-driven climate risk management. 

ISAE 3000 Type 2 attestation means that the data collected by Deepki has been processed according to the most stringent quality standard and meets audit requirements. Conducted by KPMG, the attestation goes beyond Type 1 by not only evaluating the design of Deepki’s controls but also verifying that they operate effectively throughout the year.

Setting the industry benchmark

Deepki is the only sustainability SaaS solution worldwide to have secured ISAE 3000 Type 2 attestation, establishing it as the gold standard for sustainability data management. Deepki chose to apply this financial-level standard to its processes due to the critical  importance placed on reliable sustainability data by clients, auditors, and investors. 

By meeting these high standards, commercial real estate investment management companies working with Deepki deliver audit-ready sustainability reporting, better business orientations, and reduced climate-related risks. They also save time and resources by reducing the need for additional quality checks and focusing on outcomes.

Vincent Bryant, CEO and Co-founder of Deepki, comments: “Unlike other companies that merely collect and report data without such a certification, commercial real estate actors leveraging ISAE3000 Type 2 with Deepki prove that their entire process – data extraction, validation and transformation – meets the highest international standards for quality and consistency.  They can now operate with even greater confidence, knowing that their sustainable system, powered by Deepki, is continuously being scrutinised and validated by a Big 4 auditor. This highest level of rigour delivers unmatched trust in sustainability data management and empowers organisations with the solutions they need to drive profitable sustainability actions.”

Deepki is the leading and most trusted sustainability SaaS solution in real estate.

Launch and Learn: Media Invited to Science Webinar on NASA’s SpaceX CRS-32 Mission

Published

By

Register today for the April 16 webinar, featuring cutting-edge biotech, plant biology, and airborne pollutant research sponsored by the ISS National Lab and NASA

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory and NASA will host a webinar to discuss upcoming research and technology development projects launching on SpaceX’s 32nd Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) mission for the agency. This webinar will showcase some of the innovative research heading to the space station and how it benefits humanity while driving a sustainable market economy in low Earth orbit (LEO). The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 1 p.m. EDT.

SpaceX CRS-32 is slated to launch on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft no earlier than 4:15 a.m. EDT on Monday, April 21, 2025, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

During the webinar, Michael Roberts, chief scientific officer for the ISS National Lab, and Jennifer Buchli, chief scientist for NASA’s ISS Program, will provide programmatic insights and updates. The following speakers will then join them to highlight specific research projects on this mission:

Improving Janus Base Nanomaterial Production in Microgravity: University of Connecticut researcher and Eascra Biotech co-founder Yupeng Chen, along with co-founder Mari Anne Snow, will discuss their research exploring how microgravity improves the production of Janus base nanomaterials (JBNs). These nanomaterials, which consist of molecules that self-assemble into structures that mimic human DNA, could be used to treat diseases like osteoarthritis and cancer. In space, where gravity-driven forces like sedimentation are significantly reduced, the team can manufacture JBNs with a more uniform structure, leading to better therapeutic outcomes. This ISS National Lab-sponsored project builds on previous investigations and is funded through NASA’s In-Space Production Applications program.

Genetically Modified Tomatoes in Space: Major Travis Tubbs from the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) and Heath Mills, co-founder of ISS National Lab Commercial Service Provider Rhodium Scientific, will discuss a project that is part of a series of investigations developed and supported by the U.S. Air Force and USAFA. The project will examine how genetically modified tomato plants grow in the space environment. The team hopes to gain a better understanding of how genetic modifications and gene expression changes influence root and shoot development. Results from this project will be compared with results from investigations on the Polaris Dawn and SpaceX Crew-9 missions, which featured the same Rhodium plant growth hardware. Findings could provide insights into the production of crops on long-duration space missions or in high-radiation environments.

Monitoring Aerosol Pollutants in Space: Claire Fortenberry, research aerospace engineer at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, will discuss an investigation on aerosol monitors, which continuously monitor airborne pollutant particles such as dust inside the space station. These monitors are essential for maintaining safe air quality on future missions in LEO and beyond. Results could help researchers select the monitors used on future missions to protect crew health and mission success.

Studying the Impact of Space Radiation on Plant Biology: Sarah Wyatt, researcher from Ohio University will discuss a NASA-sponsored experiment assessing the effects of space radiation on the genome and telomere activity in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model organism for studying plant biology. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences that protect the ends of chromosomes, which become shorter every time a cell divides and serve as markers of plant survivability. Understanding how space radiation affects telomeres could help scientists better equip plants and other organisms for the stress of long-duration missions.

The webinar will be available on Zoom for media. Media who would like to participate must register for Zoom access no later than one hour in advance.

A livestream of the webinar will also be available on the ISS National Lab Livestream page. The public can participate by submitting questions during the webinar using #ISSNationalLab on social media. Following the webinar, a recording will be available on the ISS National Lab YouTube channel. Additional information about investigations launching on SpaceX CRS-32 will be made available in the coming days on our launch page.

Join us to learn more about the exciting investigations heading to the space station to advance science and benefit humanity. To learn more about ISS National Lab-sponsored science and its impact on Earth, visit our website.
