Zevero, a global platform specialising in carbon accounting, has announced the successful completion of its first seed funding round, raising US$ 7 million. Led by Spiral Capital, the round also saw participation from East Ventures and several angel investors. The funding will support Zevero’s plans to expand its sustainability platform into key global markets, including Japan, the United States, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Zevero, which has already made significant inroads in the UK and European markets, provides advanced tools to help supply-chain-heavy businesses achieve their sustainability targets. With clients such as DEYA, Delphis Eco, and MOTH, the platform uses artificial intelligence to match emission factors and integrate supply chain data, offering businesses a comprehensive view of their environmental impact. The company’s leadership says the new funding will allow them to enhance the platform’s decarbonisation capabilities in response to growing global demand for sustainability solutions.
Co-Founder and Global CEO of Zevero, Shigeo Taniuchi, said: “Following a year of significant global commitments to net-zero emissions, we have seen a surge in demand for robust, data-driven sustainability solutions. This funding allows us to expand our capabilities and continue delivering the innovative tools that businesses need to meet their regulatory and commercial obligations. The team is excited to lead the industry in providing accurate, scalable and actionable insights for carbon accounting.”
Zevero’s platform integrates life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies with carbon accounting tools, allowing businesses to assess the environmental impact of their operations and products across their entire lifecycle. This enables organisations to make informed decisions as they navigate their journey towards net-zero emissions, amid increasing regulatory and consumer demands.
The company has built a strong leadership team, with global expertise in carbon accounting and sustainability solutions. Zevero’s Co-Founder, Shigeo Taniuchi, brings global management experience, while Chief Sustainability Officer Ben Richardson, and Co-Founder Steve Wade, have established careers in the European carbon accounting sector. Serial entrepreneur Mr. Kuratomi rounds out the leadership, adding further strength to the company’s international presence.
Tomokazu Okuno, General Partner and CEO of Spiral Capital, which led the funding round, commented: “As demand for transparent and reliable sustainability data grows, Zevero is addressing key business challenges with its carbon accounting and LCA solutions. We are excited to support their ongoing growth and market expansion.”
The platform has already helped several major companies in the consumer goods sector reduce their carbon footprint, and the latest round of funding is expected to accelerate Zevero’s impact on the global stage.
In addition to continuing to raise funds, Zevero aims to establish itself as a leader in the sustainability sector, with plans to further enhance its products and services. The platform’s goal is to enable more businesses worldwide to accurately assess their environmental impact and make the necessary adjustments to meet their net-zero targets.
