About Us

Our Mission

At Calyx Protocol, our mission is to verify sustainability at the protocol level — transforming ESG data into auditable, tokenized, and interoperable value. We empower verifiers, institutions, and builders to align incentives and drive long-term impact that lasts.

Vision

We envision a future where sustainability claims are never taken at face value — because every claim is backed by transparent, verifiable data. Our goal is to become the global standard for trust in ESG reporting, making greenwashing a thing of the past.

Founder

Founding Story & Principles

Calyx Protocol was founded by Marco Guirola to solve a simple but critical problem: sustainability and governance data was everywhere, but trust in it was nowhere. After years of building financial and compliance infrastructure in emerging markets, our founder saw how ESG reporting was held back by subjective ratings, closed systems, and signals that faded over time.

Calyx was born in Finland with a different approach: a protocol that transforms verified facts into auditable proof. By giving verifiers the tools to mint lasting, math-based signals, Calyx turns trust into a public good that scales across companies, systems, and borders.

Our Principles

Transparency

No black boxes, just verifiable logic.

/images/verifier.png

Verifier-First

The source of truth deserves recognition.

/images/intero.png

Interoperability

Proof that connects across platforms and geographies.

/images/integrity.png

Integrity Over Time

Signals that endure, compound, and remain consultable.

What Makes Calyx Different

While most ESG systems rely on opaque scoring and manual verification, Calyx transforms the process with

Mathematical Non-Linearity

Proof doesn’t just add up, it compounds. Verified actions that align grow exponentially stronger, rewarding consistency and integrity across time, teams, and systems.

Interoperability

Proof flows across reporting frameworks (GRI, SASB, CSRD), financial systems (banks, investors, insurers), and digital infrastructures (blockchains, APIs, registries). No lock-ins, no silos.

Aligned Incentives

Verifiers, companies, and stakeholders all benefit when verified proof compounds and circulates, creating shared value.

On-Chain Proof

Each data point is anchored on-chain, ensuring permanence and tamper-resistance.

Auditable Data

Every score is backed by verifiable sources.
