Carbon accounting isn’t built for the long haul—Zevero is changing that with a US$7 million raise

Singapore, 17th September, 2024 – Zevero, a global carbon accounting platform is proud to announce its inaugural seed funding round. The investment was led by Spiral Capital, with participation from East Ventures and several angel investors. This first raise marks a milestone of Zevero’s ability to grow global sustainability impact. 

Having secured significant wins in the UK and European markets over the past three years by helping major consumer-goods brands such as DEYA, Delphis Eco and MOTH achieve their sustainability goals, the US$ 7 million investment will accelerate Zevero’s scaling efforts in global key markets such as Japan, U.S., Australia, and Asia-Pacific countries. This funding will enable the platform to meet the increasing global demand for comprehensive sustainability solutions, with a particular focus on enhancing its decarbonisation capabilities.

The platform integrates advanced LCA methodologies with carbon accounting tools, offering businesses a detailed understanding of their environmental impacts and enabling them to make informed decisions to achieve their sustainability goals.

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,” said Shigeo Taniuchi, Co-Founder and Global CEO of Zevero.

“As demand for transparent, reliable sustainability data grows, Zevero is addressing business challenges with its carbon accounting tool and LCA solutions.
