How It Works

The engine behind every sustainability-linked financial outcome

SYNE Accelerate is built on the same verified data foundation as Measure and Report — meaning every financial claim and impact figure is traceable to a source, auditable and assurance-ready from day one.

Verified Data Foundation

Financial instruments backed by data your auditors have already seen

The biggest risk in sustainability-linked finance is greenwashing — making claims you can't substantiate when verification comes. SYNE eliminates that risk by using only the verified, audit-trailed data already collected and validated in SYNE Measure. Every KPI in your SLL, every impact metric in your bond report, and every supplier score in your ESG rating traces back to a source record with full provenance.

  • Single data source — no recalculation or re-entry between ESG management and financial reporting
  • Immutable audit log for every data point used in a financial instrument — time-stamped, user-attributed
  • External verifier access: read-only permissioned views for KPMG, Sustainalytics, V.E and other SPO/assurance providers
  • Methodology documentation auto-generated: emission factor sources, boundary assumptions, consolidation approach

SYNE AI Value Intelligence

AI that finds the financial value hidden in your ESG performance

Most organisations leave significant sustainability-linked financial value uncaptured — green finance they're eligible for but haven't accessed, KPIs they're exceeding that could earn margin benefits, or impact outcomes they're generating but haven't monetised. SYNE AI analyses your complete ESG profile and surfaces these opportunities, ranked by estimated financial value.

  • Green finance eligibility scanner — identifies which of your assets and projects qualify for green bond, green loan or EU Taxonomy alignment
  • SLL margin optimisation — models alternative KPI sets and targets to maximise your achievable margin benefit
  • Impact monetisation audit — reviews your operations against 200+ impact pathways and quantifies uncaptured value
  • Peer benchmarking — compares your sustainability-linked finance terms against sector peers to identify renegotiation opportunities

Stakeholder Value Reporting

Give every stakeholder the sustainability story they need — automatically

Different audiences need different things from your ESG performance data. Lenders need KPI verification. Investors need impact metrics. Employees need community and wellbeing data. Customers need product footprints. SYNE Accelerate generates tailored reports for each audience from a single verified data source — so your team isn't rebuilding the same information six different ways.

  • Lender reporting: SLL/SLB KPI verification packs, margin calculation workbooks, annual compliance certificates
  • Investor reporting: ESG ratings input packages, TCFD disclosures, impact returns and portfolio temperature alignment
  • Customer reporting: product-level carbon footprints, ethical sourcing certification, supplier ESG scorecards
  • Employee & community: wellbeing KPIs, DEI progress reports, community investment and social impact summaries

SYNE Accelerate turned our sustainability programme into a genuine P&L lever. We renegotiated our revolving credit facility with a 22bps margin benefit in the first year — backed entirely by verified data that our assurance providers had already signed off. That's not a sustainability story. That's a finance story.

FAQ

Questions about SYNE Accelerate

Everything you need to know about sustainability-linked finance, supplier management and impact measurement. Our team is happy to run a live demo using your data.

Talk to an expert
SYNE's SLL reporting is built on the same verified, audit-trailed ESG data used for CSRD and GRI disclosures — data that your external assurance provider (whether KPMG, Deloitte, EY or a specialist ESG assurer) has already reviewed. For each KPI, SYNE generates a verification pack containing: the KPI result, the underlying calculation methodology, the source data points (with timestamps and user attribution), the emission factors and reference standards used, and any exceptions or adjustments. This pack is pre-formatted for ISAE 3000 limited assurance engagement — giving your SPO provider everything they need to issue a verification letter without requesting additional information. SYNE also provides read-only permissioned access for your lead arranger's sustainability coordinator to monitor KPI performance in real time throughout the year.
Yes. SYNE Accelerate supports multiple sustainability-linked instruments in parallel — SLLs, SLBs, revolving credit facilities, term loans and sustainability bonds — each with their own KPI sets, SPTs (Sustainability Performance Targets), measurement periods and lender/trustee access permissions. The dashboard provides a portfolio view across all facilities, showing aggregated margin benefit/cost, combined KPI performance status and upcoming verification deadlines. Where two facilities share a KPI (for example, both a revolver and a term loan tied to Scope 1+2 reduction), SYNE uses the same verified data source for both — eliminating the risk of inconsistency between instruments.
SYNE's supplier portal is a white-labelled platform your suppliers access via a branded URL. Each supplier receives an invitation with a questionnaire tailored to their product categories and your specific data requirements — covering GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3), energy consumption, water, waste, social metrics and governance indicators. Suppliers can submit data manually, connect their own systems via API, or import from existing ESG tools. SYNE validates submissions against minimum data quality thresholds and flags inconsistencies for review. Submitted data flows automatically into your Scope 3 Category 1 calculation, gradually replacing spend-based estimates with higher-quality primary data. Response rates and submission completeness are tracked on your supplier programme dashboard — automated reminders are sent to suppliers with overdue submissions.
Impact monetisation is the process of expressing social and environmental outcomes in financial terms — assigning a dollar value to outcomes like a tonne of carbon avoided, a job created or a litre of water saved. SYNE uses Social Value International (SVI) and SROI (Social Return on Investment) proxy values, calibrated to sector and geography, to translate each impact outcome into a financial equivalent. For example, a job created in a high-unemployment region carries a different proxy value than the same job in a low-unemployment market. The monetisation engine in SYNE draws on a library of 200+ validated proxy values, with references to the academic and practitioner literature underpinning each one. All assumptions are documented and can be adjusted if your organisation uses proprietary proxy values. The resulting impact value figures are used in impact investor reporting, development finance applications and stakeholder communications.
The EU Green Bond Regulation (effective from December 2024) sets mandatory requirements for bonds marketed as European Green Bonds — including that 100% of proceeds must be allocated to EU Taxonomy-aligned activities, and that an annual allocation and impact report is submitted to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). SYNE's EU GBS module maps bond proceeds to eligible project categories, runs automatic EU Taxonomy alignment checks (including DNSH criteria and minimum social safeguards) for each allocated project, tracks the allocation ratio in real time, and generates both the pre-issuance factsheet and the annual allocation/impact reports in the prescribed ESMA format. The platform monitors allocation compliance throughout the bond lifecycle and alerts treasury if any project's taxonomy alignment status changes due to regulatory updates.
Yes. SYNE's SLL readiness assessment analyses your current ESG performance against the KPI sets and SPTs commonly used in your sector's sustainability-linked loan market. The output is a renegotiation readiness report showing: which KPIs you're already meeting or exceeding (and therefore eligible to use), what margin benefit you could access based on current market pricing for each KPI, and what performance improvement would unlock additional margin step-downs you're currently not capturing. This report is designed to support a conversation with your relationship bank or arranger about converting an existing conventional facility to an SLL, or renegotiating an existing SLL with more ambitious targets. SYNE's professional services team can also support the lender negotiation and documentation process directly.
SYNE is a single unified platform — Accelerate is not a standalone module but an additional capability layer sitting on top of the verified data foundation built in Measure and the reporting infrastructure in Report. Every KPI used in a sustainability-linked instrument, every impact metric in a green bond report and every supplier ESG score traces directly to the source records in Measure. When a KPI is updated in Measure (because new utility data has come in, or a supplier has submitted primary emissions data), it automatically updates in Accelerate — recalculating your SLL performance, refreshing your impact dashboard and flagging any compliance changes. This means your treasury, sustainability and finance teams are all working from the same real-time verified dataset — eliminating the version control and reconciliation problems that arise when SLL reporting is managed separately from core ESG data.
Yes. SYNE Accelerate includes specific functionality for organisations working with development finance institutions (DFIs) and blended finance structures. The platform supports IFC Environmental and Social Performance Standards screening, IFC Operating Principles for Impact Management compliance, and OECD DAC classification for development finance reporting. For blended finance, SYNE tracks impact across concessional and commercial tranches separately, generates the additionality documentation required by DFI mandates, and produces the harmonised reporting required under the DFI Harmonised Indicators for Private Sector Operations (HIPSO) framework. Public guarantee and first-loss tranche performance is tracked alongside commercial returns, enabling the comprehensive reporting required for fund-level impact audits.
